There was an old woman who rode on a broom,
With a high gee ho, gee humble,
And she took her old cat along for a groom,
With a bimble, bamble, bumble.
They went along and they came to the sky,
With a high gee ho, gee humble,
But the ride so long made them very hungry,
With a bimble, bamble, bumble.
Said Tom, "I can find not a mouse to eat,"
With a high gee ho, gee humble;
"So let us go back again, I entreat,"
With a bimble, bamble, bumble.
The old woman would not go back so soon,
With a high gee ho, gee humble,
She wanted to visit the man in the moon,
With a bimble, bamble, bumble.
Said Tom, "I will go alone to the house,"
With a high gee ho, gee humble,
"For there I can catch a rat or a mouse,"
With a bimble, bamble, bumble.
"But," said the old woman, "how will you go?"
With a high gee ho, gee humble;
Said Tom, "I'll run down this pretty rainbow,"
With a bimble, bamble, bumble.
