Jack Horner by Theodore Distin — Lyrics
Jack Horner was a pretty lad,
Near London he did dwell;
His father's heart he made full glad,
His mother loved him well;
While little Jack was sweet and young,
If he should chance to cry
His mother pretty sonnets sung,
With lullababy, by.
A pretty lad, a curious wit,
