Little Tommy Tucker sings for his supper,
What shall we give him? Brown bread and butter.
How shall he cut it without a knife?
How shall he marry without a wife?
 Tommy Tucker was a name used to describe
orphans, who often sang (begging) for their supper.
Around 1829 this
rhyme was published reflecting the hard times an orphan had. Not
able to marry due to their low
standing within the community.
