    1. 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
    2. The milkmaid to the meadow brings her milking stool
    And sits beside her cow and sings
    While by the reed-fringed pool
    The waiting kine stand patiently
    In the shadow of a hawthorn tree.
    3. Rock-a-bye baby on a tree top
    When the wind blows the cradle will rock
    When the boughs break the cradle will fall
    Down will come baby, cradle and all
