From: GUEST,Phil d'Conch When the teacher was listening: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 All good children go to heaven; When (he/she) gets there The angels will say, Yes, >name< right this way! Or not: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 All good children go to heaven; 8-9-10-11-12 All bad children go to hell. Pretty common at least back to the teens or 1920s. Probably much-much older. |

This was in the early 1950s, when she would have been 80 or so. I suspect she learned it when she was young; she was born in 1873. |
