See-saw, Margery Daw,
Sold her bed to lie upon straw;
Wasn’t she a dirty slut
To sell her bed to lie upon dirt?
—London (A. B. Gomme).
See-saw, Margery Daw,
Johnny shall have a new master;
He shan’t have but a farthing a day,
Because he can’t work any faster.
—London (G. L. Gomme).
See-saw, sacradown,
Which is the way to London town?
One boot up, and the other down,
And that is the way to London town.
—Halliwell’s Nursery Rhymes, No. cccxxx.
