This pig went to market
From The Nursery Rhymes of England, collected by J. O. Halliwell (London: Warne; first ed. 1842; this printing 1886)
Mythology & Folklore
This pig went to market;
This pig staid at home;
This pig had a bit of meat;
And this pig had none;
This pig said, Wee, wee, wee! I can't find my way home.
