High diddle doubt, my candle’s out
My little maid is not at home;
Saddle my hog and bridle my dog,
And fetch my little maid home.

The version above is from The Real Mother Goose (1916), illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright. Harry’s Ladder to Learning (1850) features a slightly different version:
High diddle doubt, my candle’s out,
And my little dame’s not at home:
So saddle my hog, and bridle my dog,
And fetch my little dame home.
