Jack and Jill

I was checking out the lyrics for the song 'Ramblin'Rose' by The Grateful Dead when I came across the complete Rhyme of Jack and Jill.... I only knew the first stanza and I'm pretty sure I've never heard the rest. So, here we go

Jack and Jill and Old Dame Dob

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.


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.


When Jill came in,
How she did grin
To see Jack's paper plaster;
Her 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
