    What are the rest of the words of this poem?
    I'm trying to figure out the words of this poem and I know it goes something like "For want of the nail, the horse was lost." and the ending is "All for the want of a penny-shoe nail". Help me!

    For Want of a Nail

    For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
    For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
    For want of a horse the rider was lost.
    For want of a rider the battle was lost.
    For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
    And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
