In the early 19th century printed collections of rhymes began to spread to other countries, including Robert Chambers's Popular Rhymes of Scotland and in the United States, Mother Goose's Melodies . The oldest children's songs of which we have records are lullabies, Kid's music video intended to help a child fall asleep. The English term lullaby is thought to come from "lu, lu" or "la la" sounds made by mothers or nurses to calm children, and "by by" or "bye bye", either another lulling sound or a term for good night.

Until the modern era lullabies were usually only recorded incidentally in written sources. The Roman nurses' lullaby, "Lalla, Lalla, Lalla, aut dormi, aut lacta", is recorded in a scholium on Persius and may be the oldest to survive. These traditional nonsense-rhymes a meaning and a romance, possibly intelligible only to very young minds, that exercise an influence on the fancy of children. It is obvious there must exist something of this kind; for no modern compositions are found to supply altogether the place of the ancient doggerel. In more repressed times, people were not always allowed to express themselves freely, for fear of persecution.

The water betokens the Roman, or the fourth of the great monarchies to whose dominions the Jews were subjected. Well, he huffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he huffed; but he could not get the house down. When he found that he could not, with all his huffing and puffing, blow the house down, he said, "Little pig, I know where there is a nice field of turnips." "Where?" said the little pig. This English folksong is believed to reference the death of Robin Hood and reflects the respect that common folk has for him. And as you are saying the rhyme imagine that you are putting in your thumb and pulling out a plumb. Pinch your own toes as you say the rhyme, imagining that each toe is a little pig.
