Like many old nursery rhymes, this one contains
material that is difficult. I have even
seen versions that change the original words!
Here are the original words courtesy of the Nursery
Rhyme book Lavender's Blue – a trip down memory lane if there ever was one.
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to
do.
She gave them some broth without any bread;
And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
Crazy parenting styles!
