There was an old woman went up in a basket,
Seventy times as high as the moon:
What she did there I could not but ask it,
For in her hand she carried a broom.
"Old Woman, old woman, old woman," quoth I,
"O wither, O wither, O wither, so high!"
"To sweep the cobwebs off the sky,
And I shall be back again by and by!"Location: Hately, TL (1865) The Illustrated Book of Nursery Rhymes and Songs. London: T. Nelson and Sons. Parker Collection A087.1/1865
