Mary had a little lamb
Her father shot it dead
Now she takes her lamb to school
Between two bits of bread.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Said  "Bgrugr it, scrambled eggs for breakfast again.

Mary had a little bike,
She rode it on the grass.
And every time the wheel went round,
A spoke stuck up her . . . . . . . . elbow! ;D ;D

There was one my Dad used to sing that I partly remember, On top of old smokey , about a meatball, if anyone remembers it. Possibly a Burl Ives song ?

I remember bits of the meatball one. Think it was take off of Burk Ives one.

 .........all covered in chesse,
 i lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table and onto the floor
And then my poor me a ball rolled out of the door...

Original recorded by The Weavers, 1951!
Burl Ives version hit #10 on the Billboard chart later in 1951.

Meatball one recorded by Tom Glazer in 1963.
