Ditchdweller | Humpty Dumpty (14) | Words to Humpty Dumpty | 06 Feb 02 |
Far from being an egg, the original Humpty Dumpty was a Royalist ½ culvern cannon destroyed in the Siege of Colchester during the Civil War. (The real one, not the American re-run). What we now know as the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty is apparently the chorus of a Roundhead marching song. Has anyone got the words for at least some of the verses??? |
