Volume 1 — TROT, TROT, THE BABY GOES
Reading edition
BY MARY F. BUTTS
Every evening Baby goes Trot, trot, to town— Across the river, through the fields, Up hill and down.
Trot, trot, the Baby goes, Up hill and down, To buy a feather for her hat, To buy a woolen gown.
Trot, trot, the Baby goes; The birds fly down, alack! “You cannot have our feathers, dear,” They say; “so please trot back.”
Trot, trot, the Baby goes; The lambs come bleating near. “You cannot have our wool,” they say; “But we are sorry, dear.”
Trot, trot, the Baby goes, Trot, trot, to town. She buys a red rose for her hat, She buys a cotton gown.
