Thread Name: Origins: Oranges and Lemons (say the bells of...)
Subject: RE: Oranges and Lemons-Lyr addition and question
Get hold of The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes by Peter and Iona Opie (3 pages worth) of text, very close, and lots of notes, various versions, etc. -- For some reason the rhyme doesn't seem to be in Baring-Gould's "Annotated Mother Goose".
