Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice — the full words of the round, and a warning that the third verse is grimmer than the tune suggests.

Three blind mice, Three blind mice, See how they run, See how they run!

Three blind mice, Three blind mice, See how they run, See how they run!

They all ran after the farmer's wife, Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.

They all ran after the farmer's wife, Who cut off their tails with a carving knife. Did you ever see such a sight in your life As three blind mice?
