I went downtown to see Mrs. Brown

I went downtown to seed Mrs. Brown

She gave me a nickel to buy a pickle

Theckle was sour; she gave me a flower

Ther flower was red; she gave me some thread;

The thread was thin; she gave me a pin;

The pin was sharp; She gave me a harp;

And the harp played salt, mustard, and pepper.
