A short, warm verse about spotting a mother coming home from market, a sack of meal on her back and a baby tucked in her basket. Simple enough for the youngest listeners.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Saw ye aught of my love a-coming from the market?
A peck of meal upon her back,
A babby in her basket;
Saw ye aught of my love a-coming from the market?
