London Bridge

Topics: classic

London Bridge is broken down,     Dance over my Ladye Lea;     London Bridge is broken down:     With a gay ladye.     How shall we build it up again?     Dance over my Ladye Lea;     How shall we build it up again?     With a gay ladye.     Silver and gold will be stole away,     Dance over my Ladye Lea;     Silver and gold will be stole away:     With a gay ladye.     Iron and steel will bend and bow,     Dance over my Ladye Lea;     Iron and steel will bend and bow:     With a gay ladye.     Wood and clay will wash away,     Dance over my Ladye Lea;     Wood and clay will wash away:     With a gay ladye.     Build it up with stone so strong,     Dance over my Ladye Lea;     Huzza! 'twill last for ages long.     With a gay ladye.
