I Met An Old Man On London Bridge

As the sun set on the ridge,
He tipped his hat and drew his name,
And cheated at the guessing game.
What was the man’s name?

A Red Robe and Staff In Hand
I wear a red robe,
With staff in hand,
And a stone in my throat.
Cut me and I weep red tears
What am I?
A cherry
There are a few other variations of this one:
As I went through the garden gap,
Who should I meet but Dick Red-cap!
A stick in his hand, a stone in his throat,
If you’ll tell me this riddle, I’ll give you a groat.
(Said to be the lyrics to A Cherry)
I slipped down a slippery gap,
Found a man with a red cap,
He had a stick in his back and a stone in his belly,
Riddle me this and I’ll give you a penny.
