Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Mary Jane was out in the lane
Hanging up the clothes.
She called for Nell to ring the bell
‘Cause Jack and Jill were dying.
Then up Jack got and home did trot
As fast as he could caper;
To Old Dame Dob who patched his nob
With vinegar and brown paper.
Jill came in and she did grin
To see Jack’s paper plaster;
Mother vexed did whip her next
For laughing at Jack’s disaster.
Now Jack did laugh and Jill did cry
But her tears did soon abate;
Then Jill did say that they should play
At see-saw across the gate.
