A witch's daughter
And a cobbler's son:
@3Three blind mice
See how they run!@1

A witch's daughter
With hair of gold
And a rounded breast
In a muslin fold;

And a cobbler's son
With a boot to tap,
And a leather apron
Squat on his lap.

A witch's daughter,
A cobbler's son,
A boot half tapped
And a heel half done.

A witch's daughter,
With eyes like fire,
And a cobbler's son
With a strange desire.

A witch's daughter,
A cobbler's son,
A hawthorne tree
And a hot cross bun.

One old father
Between the two;
Two old mothers
And a kettle of stew.

A witch's daughter
And a cobbler's son:
@3Three blind mice
See how they run!@1
