LONDON BRIDGE

⁠London bridge
⁠Is broken down,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
⁠London bridge
⁠Is broken down,
With a gay lady.
⁠How shall we build
⁠It up again,
With a gay lady?
⁠Build it up with
⁠Gravel and stone,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
⁠Build it up with
⁠Gravel and stone,
With a gay lady;
⁠Gravel and stone
⁠Will wash away,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
⁠Gravel and stone
⁠Will wash away,
With a gay lady;
⁠Build it up with
⁠Iron and steel,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
⁠Build it up with
⁠Iron and steel,
With a gay lady;
⁠Iron and steel
⁠Will bend and bow,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
⁠Iron and steel
⁠Will bend and bow,
With a gay lady;
⁠Build it up with
⁠Silver and gold,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
⁠Build it up with
⁠Silver and gold,
With a gay lady;
⁠Silver and gold
⁠Will be stol'n away,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
⁠Silver and gold
⁠Will be stol'n away,
With a gay lady;
⁠Then we will set
⁠A man to watch,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
⁠Then we will set
⁠A man to watch

With a gay Lady.
