Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Not a penny was there in it,
But a binding round it.
(last two lines also seen as:
Nothing in it, nothing in it;
Only ribbon round it.)
"Hallowell collected a version of this in 1842, identifying Lucy Locket and Kitty Fisher as synonyms for two famous courtesans in favor with Charles II."
- from "Mother Goose: From Nursery to Literature" by Gloria T. Delamar.
