Traditional Nursery Rhymes — Ladybird Ladybird

[Traditional] Ladybird, ladybird fly away home, Your house is on fire and your children are gone, All except one, and her name is Ann, And she hid under the baking pan. [Short/Grimmer Version] Lady-bird, Lady-bird Fly away home, Your house is on fire, Your children will burn. [Peterborough Version] Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home, Your horse is on foot, your children are gone; All but one, and that's little John, And he lies under the grindle stone. [Scotland Version] Dowdy-cow, dowdy-cow, ride away heame, Thy house is burnt, and thy bairns are tean. [Mrs. Southey] Lady-bird, Lady-bird, fly away home, The field mouse is gone to her nest, The daisies have shut up their sleepy red eyes And the birds and the bees are at rest
