As I was going to St. Ives
As I was going to St. Ives.I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits:
kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?
セント・アイヴズに行く途中
7人の妻を連れた男と出会った
妻の一人ひとりは7つの袋を持ち
袋の一つ一つには7匹の猫がいて
ネコの一匹一匹は7匹の子猫を連れていた
子猫とネコと袋と妻たちと
全部でいくつになるでしょう？
