Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill

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

Where there is a will
There is a way
You got to walk all the way
Try and try
With your head high
You will succeed faster

Jack and Jill
With a strong will
Went again up the hill
Both were firm
Not to fall
Brought down the pail of water
