This song is available on John "Kinderman" Taylor's Get Loose with Mother Goose.

He couldn’t hold her,
He couldn’t hold her,
He couldn’t hold her,
He couldn’t hold her,

Until he put her in a pumpkin shell,

Peter, Peter pumpkin eater

Had a wife and couldn’t keep her,

He put her in a pumpkin shell

And there he kept her very well.
