Ashes, ashes, we all fall down Rose Marie Raccioppi I remember once upon a time There was delight in each nursery rhyme No thought was given to what I did say It was just a part of frolic and play And then the facts and figures and reason came It was no longer quite the same Jack and Jill still went up the hill But Jill was not to tumble still And should not Humpty Dumpty know his call And not sit on that wall at all When will Little Miss Muffet learn to stay Even if a spider came her way Ashes, ashes, we all fall down Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
