Bo Peep
The Man in the Moon (Tumbledown)
The man in the moon
Came tumbling down,
And asked his way to Norwich.
He went by the south,
And burnt his mouth,
With supping hot pease porridge.
Variant:
“The man in the moon came down too soon to ask his way to Norwich. The man in the south, he burnt his mouth, with eating cold plum-porridge.”
