As I was going up the hill
This old nursery rhyme is called “As I was going up the hill” — enjoy your reading!
“As I was going up the hill,
I met with Jack the piper,
And all the tunes that he could play
Was "Tie up your petticoats tighter."
I tied them once, I tied them twice,
I tied them three times over;
And all the songs that he could sing
Was "Carry me safe to Dover."”
