As I went over the water, the water went over me.

As I went over the water,
The water went over me,
I heard an old woman crying,
Will you buy some furmity?
The Nursery Rhymes of England. James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps. 1886.
As I went over the water,
The water went over me.
I saw two little blackbirds sitting on a tree:
The one called me a rascal,
The other called me a thief;
I took up my little black stick,
And knocked out all their teeth.
