This is Roud 112946: One Two Buckle My Shoe.
ONE, TWO, BUCKLE MY SHOE
Buckle my shoe;
Three, four,
Shut the door;
Five, six,
Pick up sticks;
Seven, eight,
Lay them straight;
Nine, ten,
A good fat hen;
Eleven, twelve,
Who will delve?
Thirteen, fourteen,
Maids a-courting;
Fifteen, sixteen,
Maids a-kissing;
Seventeen, eighteen,
Maid a-waiting;
Nineteen, twenty,
My stomach's empty.
Note that the illustration has a different rhyme at the end: "Nineteen, twenty, that's a-plenty."
