Pauper’s Daughter and I

Lyrics

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 New Year's Eve, the boy downtown To see the pauper's daughter Half past six the date was fixed The gate to raven I call him Knew the score, there was no door But sweet light shone from the ceiling She was dressed in blue, a family friend Calling red, they were singing Singing, singing, woah I played a tune from room to room Holding hands like a children's tune There was no charming, no waiting no tears Pauper's teaching like a son, like feel Looking back, no rumours Memory lingering on and on, on and on They would sing it They would sing it Woah, yeah, yeah Half past six the date was fixed The gate to raven I call him Knew the score, there was no door But sweet light shone from the ceiling She was dressed in blue, a family friend Calling red, they were singing, woah They were singing 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 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 Pauper's daughter and I Pauper's daughter and I Pauper's daughter and I
