Three Blind Mice
Three Blind Mice
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.
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice.

Origin
“Three Blind Mice” was first published as a children’s rhyme by the English Shakespearean scholar and nursery rhyme collector, James Orchard Halliwell-Phillips, in 1842. An earlier version with mostly different lyrics was published in 1609 by English composer, Thomas Ravenscroft, who is thought to be one of the rhyme’s possible authors. The later version is popularly thought to refer to Mary I of England (“Bloody Mary”) and her execution of the Protestant martyrs, Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer; and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cramner, in 1555.
