"Scene in a London churchyard, lit by a waning moon. An old woman, wife of Thimble, a tailor, wearing a hooded shroud, emerges from a grave beside a spade, pickaxe, skulls, &c. She threatens with two bones the terror-struck sexton who sits on the ground. He had come 'To saw off her finger, and steal the ring'. She frightens him away. The refrain: 'With her roley, poley, gammon, and spinnage Heigho! says Thimble.'"--British Museum online catalogue
