The Real Mother Goose  by Blanche Fisher Wright

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;

How shall we build it up again?

With a gay lady.


Build it up with silver and gold,

Dance over my Lady Lee;

Build it up with silver and gold,

With a gay lady.


Silver and gold will be stole away,

Dance over my Lady Lee;

Silver and gold will be stole away,

With a gay lady.


Build it up with iron and steel,

Dance over my Lady Lee;

Build it up with iron and steel,

With a gay lady.


Iron and steel will bend and bow,

Dance over my Lady Lee;

Iron and steel will bend and bow,

With a gay lady.


Build it up with wood and clay,

Dance over my Lady Lee;

Build it up with wood and clay,

With a gay lady.


Wood and clay will wash away,

Dance over my Lady Lee;

Wood and clay will wash away,

With a gay lady.


Build it up with stone so strong,

Dance over my Lady Lee;

Huzza! 'twill last for ages long,

With a gay lady.
