SEE-SAW sacradown,
Which is the way to London town?
One foot up and the other down,
And that is the way to London town.
SEE, saw, Margery Daw
Sold her bed and lay upon straw.
Was not she a dirty slut,
To sell her bed and lie in the dirt!
SEE, saw, Margery Daw,
Little Jackey shall have a new master;
Little Jackey shall have but a penny a day,
Because he can't work any faster.
[The following is used by schoolboys, when two are starting to run a race.]
ONE to make ready,
And two to prepare;
Good luck to the rider,
And away goes the mare.
