There are many modern versions of it (many of them are Parodies ), all sharing the same first rhyme: :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. The second verse of the song is less commonly performed: :Up Jack got and down he trot :As fast as he could caper; :And went to bed and covered his head :In vinegar and brown paper There is an even rarer third verse, as follows: :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 There are several speculations about the origin of the nursery rhyme, including:

Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member. POP MUSIC In 1978, the pop group Raydio had a hit song entitled "Jack and Jill" in which Jack snuck down from the hill to get "love he couldn't get from Jill". Another Raydio song, "A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)" (1981) provided an apparent continuation of the earlier song by saying that when Jack returned up the hill, "somebody else had been loving Jill". The Dresden Dolls song "Half Jack" also contains references to the rhyme. EXTERNAL LINKS |
