‘Little Robin Redbreast’ is an English language nursery rhyme, chiefly notable as evidence of the way traditional rhymes are changed and edited. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 20612. == Lyrics == This rhyme is one of the most varied English nursery rhymes, probably because of its crude early version. Common modern versions include: :Little Robin Redbreast :Came to visit me; :This is what he whistled, :Thank you for my tea.〔I. Opie and P. Opie, ''The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes'' (Oxford University Press, 1951, 2nd edn., 1997), pp. 371-2.〕 and: :Little Robin Redbreast :Sat upon a tree, :Up went the Pussy-Cat, :And down went he; :Down came Pussy-Cat, :Away Robin ran, :Says little Robin Redbreast— :Catch me if you can. :Little Robin Redbreast jumped upon a spade, :Pussy-Cat jumped after him, and then he was afraid. :Little Robin chirped and sung, and what did pussy say? :Pussy-Cat said Mew, mew mew,—and Robin flew away.〔Anon, ''(The Only True Mother Goose Melodies )'' (Munroe and Francis: Boston MA, 1833), p. 14.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Little Robin Redbreast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
