Ten little nigger boys went out to dine;  
One choked his little self; and then there were nine。  
Nine little nigger boys sat up very late;  
One overslept himself; and then there were eight。  

十个小黑人出外用膳;  
一个噎死还剩九个。  
九个小黑人熬夜到很晚;  
一个睡过头还剩八个。  

Eight little nigger boys travelling in Devon;  
One said he'd stay there; and then there were seven。  
Seven little nigger boys chopping up sticks;  
One chopped himself in half; and then there were six。  

八个小黑人在到丹文游玩;  
一个说要留在那儿还剩七个。  
七个小黑人在砍柴;  
一个把自己砍成两半还剩六个。 

Six little nigger boys playing with a hive;  
A bumble…bee stung one; and then there were five。  
Five little nigger boys going in for law;  
One got in chancery; and then there were four。  

六个小黑人玩蜂窝;  
一只黄蜂叮住一个还剩五个。  
五个小黑人进入法院;  
一个被留下还剩四个。  

Four little nigger boys going out to sea;  
A red herring swallowed one; and then there were three。  
Three little nigger boys walking in the Zoo;  
A big bear bugged one; and then there were two。  

四个小黑人到海边;  
一条红鲱鱼吞下一个还剩三个。  
三个小黑人走进动物园里;  
一只大熊抓走一个还剩两个。  

Two little nigger boys sitting in the sun;  
One got frizzled up; and then there was one。  
One little nigger boy living all alone;  
He got married; and then there were none。  

两个小黑人坐在太阳下;  
一个热死只剩一个。  
一个小黑人觉得好寂寞;  
他上吊后一个也不剩。  

中国诗歌版本:
十个印地安小男孩,为了吃饭去奔走;噎死一个没法救,十个只剩九。 
九个印地安小男孩,深夜不寐真困乏;倒头一睡睡死啦,九个只剩八。 
八个印地安小男孩,德文城里去猎奇;丢下一个命归西,八个只剩七。 
七个印地安小男孩,伐树砍枝不顺手;斧劈两半一命休,七个只剩六。 
六个印地安小男孩,玩弄蜂房惹蜂怒;飞来一蛰命呜呼,六个只剩五。 
五个印地安小男孩,惹是生非打官司;官司缠身直到死,五个只剩四。 
四个印地安小男孩,结伙出海遭大难;青鱼吞吃血斑斑,四个只剩三。 
三个印地安小男孩,动物园里遭祸殃;狗熊突然从天降,三个只剩两。 
两个印地安小男孩,太阳底下长叹息;晒死烤死悲戚戚,两个只剩一。 
一个印地安小男孩,归去来兮只一人;悬梁自尽了此生,一个也不剩。

  歌词描述原有十个小黑人,经过了许多波折,使得原本在一起的他们最后只剩一个人,剩下的那个小黑人觉得非常寂寞,便上吊自杀了。这也可以喻为原本为劳工阶级的一群人,在中产阶级、资本主义残酷的压迫后,渐渐的凋零,到了最后一个也不留。
  知名的推理小说家,拥有”谋杀天后”之称的 Agatha?Christie(阿嘉莎。克莉丝蒂),也曾以这首童谣为背景写出了〝And Then There Were None〞(中译名为《无人生还》)此本小说。

另附上和本首很像的《兔子童谣》,也有说《兔子童谣》也是出于《鹅妈妈童谣》,但是个人认为应该是由《鹅妈妈童谣》引申再创作的作品。
  大兔子病了;
  二兔子瞧; 
  三兔子买药; 
  四兔子熬; 
  五兔子死了; 
  六兔子抬; 
  七兔子挖坑; 
  八兔子埋; 
  九兔子坐在地上哭泣来;
  十兔子问它为什么哭? 
  九兔子说; 
  五兔子一去不回来!

围绕着桑树丛,  
猴子追赶着黄鼠狼。  
猴子认为这只是玩笑。  
砰!责任被推托(黄鼠狼被赶走了)。  

A penny for a spool of thread;  
A penny for a needle。  
That’s the way the money goes。

一便士买了线轴,  
一便士买了针。

我看见一个亲爱的宝贝  
他该睡觉了。
