We all know the first verse. But did you know there are 2 more?
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.
Up Jack got and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper;
And went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.
When Jill came in how she did grin
To see Jack’s paper plaster;
Mother vexed did whip her next
For causing Jack’s disaster.
So there you go. Happy singing!

I seem to remember my mother reciting the whole thing. She could do that with quite a few of the nursery rhymes. I guess in her childhood books were all that kids had.
There are different versions but this seemed the most accessible!
I didn’t know the third verse. It wasn’t really her fault, poor Jill. xx
I know Cynthia, it seems a bit harsh!
