Subject: RE: Origins: Down by the Banks of the Hanky Panky
This thread is looong.

In scanning it this evening, I realize that I wrote about a contemporary version of little Sally Walker two times in this thread. The first time was in November 2005 after a Guest posted an example of that rhyme on 25 Nov 06 - 01:52 PM .

The second time was in May 2007 in response to GUEST,Kate and Clare -13 May 07 - 07:24 PM posting of the same rhyme.

I consider Little Sally Walker to be a guest on the Down By The Banks of the Hanky Panky thread, since the words to that rhyme don't have any thing to do with Hanky Panky.

But, for those readers who may not be aware of it, there are alot of other Mudcat threads on children's rhymes. One which started out as a thread* for children's taunts and comebacks is thread.cfm?threadid=81350#1486259
"I'm Rubber . You're Glue: Children's Rhymes"

If you click on that link, below that title, you'll see a listing of many more [but not all] Mudcat threads on children's rhymes.

Enjoy!
