Origins and significant [edit]

The rhyme is one of many counting-out rhymes. It was first recorded in Songs for the Nursery, published in London in 1805. This version differed across the number twelve, with the lyrics:

Thirteen, fourteen, depict the curtain,

Fifteen 16, the maid's in the kitchen,

Seventeen, eighteen, she's in waiting,

Nineteen, twenty, my stomach'southward empty.^[1]

A version published five years later in Gammer Gurton's Garland (1810) was titled "Arithmetick" and had the post-obit different lines:

Iii, four, Lay down lower ...

Eleven twelve, Who will delve...

15, sixteen, Maids a-kissing...

Xix, twenty, My Belly's empty.^[1]

According to Henry Bolton, collector of counting rhymes in the 1880s, the rhyme was used in Wrentham, Massachusetts as early every bit 1780.^[one]

An 1869 endpaper by Walter Crane

A different version was published in 1833 from "The Only True Mother Goose Melodies" which preserved some of the changes in previous versions and contained variations for the lyrics for "open the door" and "I hope you're well":^[3]

One, 2 — buckle my shoe;

Three, Four — open up the door;

V, Six — pick up sticks;

Seven, 8 — lay them straight;

Nine, Ten — a good fatty hen;

11, Twelve — I hope you lot're well.

Xiii, Fourteen — draw the curtain;

Fifteen, Sixteen — the maid'south in the kitchen;

Seventeen, Xviii — she'southward in waiting.

Nineteen, Xx — my tum's empty.

A version titled "Numerical Nursery Rhyme" was published in 1899 from "A History of Plant nursery Rhymes" and introduces the unique lyrics "shut the door".^[four] This particular line appears to be regional, with "shut the door" beingness better known at present in the U.s.a. and Canada and "knock at the door" in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland:

One, ii, buckle my shoe;

Three, four, close the door;

Five, half-dozen, pick upward sticks;

Seven, viii, lay them straight;

9, ten, a good fat hen;

Eleven, twelve, who will delve?

Thirteen, Fourteen, maids a-courting;

Xv, sixteen, maids in the kitchen;

Seventeen, eighteen, maids a-waiting;

Nineteen, twenty, my stomach'due south empty."

Illustrated publications [edit]

The rhyme was sometimes published lonely in illustrated editions. That with lithographs by Caroline R. Baillie (Edinburgh, 1857) had an oblong format^[5] showing domestic 18th-century interiors.^{[half dozen]} There were too two editions of the rhyme published from London, both illustrated past Walter Crane. The kickoff was a single volume moving-picture show-book (John Lane, 1869) with end-papers showing a composite of the 1 – 10 sequence and of the 11 – 20 sequence. Information technology was followed in 1910 past The Buckle My Shoe Picture Book, containing other rhymes besides. This had coloured full-page illustrations: composites for lines ane-2 and iii-4, and and then one for each private line.^[7]

In America the rhyme was used to assist young people larn to count and was likewise individually published. Of the 21 pages in Hurd and Houghton's edition, published in New York virtually 1870, there were x taken up by Augustus Hoppin'south nonsense drawings.^[8] In Old Mother Goose's Rhymes And Tales (London and New York, 1889) in that location was only a unmarried folio given to the rhyme,^[9] illustrated past Constance Haslewood in the style of Kate Greenaway.^[10]
