The Real Mother Goose by  Blanche Fisher Wright

The Man Who Had Naught

There was a man and he had naught,

And robbers came to rob him;

He crept up to the chimney pot,

And then they thought they had him.


But he got down on t'other side,

And then they could not find him;

He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,

And never looked behind him.
