Amy Elizabeth Ermyntrude Annie
Went to the country to visit her Grannie;
Learnt to churn butter and learnt to make cheese,
Learnt to milk cows and take honey from bees;
Learnt to spice roseleaves and learnt to cure ham,
Learnt to make cider and black-currant jam.
When she came home she could not settle down,
Said there was nothing to do in the town.
Nothing to do there and nothing to see:
Life was all shopping and afternoon tea!
Amy Elizabeth Ermyntrude Annie
Ran away back to the country and Grannie!
