- This is the horse and the hound and the horn
- That belonged to the farmer sowing his corn
- That kept the cock that crowed in the morn
- That waked the priest all shaven and shorn
- That married the man all tattered and torn
- That kissed the maiden all forlorn
- That milked the cow with the crumpled horn
- That tossed the dog that worried the cat
- That killed the rat that ate the malt
- That lay in the house that Jack built.
I just find it interesting, how Jack is not that important in the story, lol. As Wikipedia says:
It is a cumulative tale that doesn't tell the story of Jack, who builds a house, but instead shows how the house is indirectly linked to numerous things and people.
