London Bridge.

 

 

London Bridge
Is Broken down,
Dance over my Lady Lee.
London Bridge
Is Broken down,
With a gay Lady.

How shall we build
It up again,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.

Build it up with
Gravel, and Stone,
Dance over my Lady Lee. &c.

Gravel, and Stone,
Will wash a away,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.

Build it up with
Iron, and Steel,
Dance over my Lady Lee. &c.

Iron and Steel,
Will bend, and Bow,
Dance over my Lady Lee. &c.

Build it up with
Silver, and Gold,
Dance over my Lady Lee. &c.

Silver, and Gold,
Will be stoln away,
Dance over my Lady Lee. &c

Then we'l set
A Man to Watch,
Dance over my Lady Lee.

Then we'l set
A Man to Watch,
With a gay Lady.
