Ten little nigger boys Went out to dine; One choked his little self And then there were nine, Nine little nigger boys Sat up very late; One overslept himself And then there were eight. Eight little nigger boys Travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there And then there were seven. Seven little nigger boys Chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves And then there were six. Six little nigger boys Playing with a hive; A bumble bee stung one And then there were five.

Five little nigger boys Going in for law; One got in Chancery And then there were four. Four little nigger boys Going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one And then there were three. Three little nigger boys Walking in the Zoo; A big bear hugged one And then there were two. Two little nigger boys Sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up And then there was one. One little nigger boy Left all alone; He got married And then there was none.
