Arranged for any instrument (like piano?) please tell me. You know Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again. |

Should be: Dum-de-dum-de- da-da-da-dum, Dum-de-dum-de- da-da-da-dum, Da-da-de Da-da-de Da-da-de dum--de Dum-de-dum-de-da-da-da-dum We have "Off she Goes" in one of our ceilidh sets, usually for the final (Orcadian) Strip the Willow: not sure about Humpty Dumpty having a great fall, but one of our dancers did, and broke not one, but BOTH wrists in one go! |
