There was an Old Woman lived under a hill

Nursery Rhyme lyrics, origins and history

There was an old woman
Lived under a hill,
She put a mouse in a bag,
And sent it to the mill.
The miller did swear,
By the point of his knife,
He never took toll
Of a mouse in his life.

There was an Old Woman lived under a hill
