Two Little Blackbirds Sitting on a Wall
Two Little Blackbirds Sitting on a Wall
Nursery Rhyme
Two little blackbirds
Sitting on the wall,
One named Peter,
One named Paul.*
Fly away Peter,
Fly away Paul.
Come back Peter,
Come back Paul.
Notes
*Or "The other named Paul."
Here's a variation of this rhyme from The Little Mother Goose (1912):
There Were Two Blackbirds Sitting on a Hill
There were two blackbirds sitting on a hill,
One named Jack and the other named Jill.
Fly away, Jack, fly away, Jill.
Come again, Jack, come again, Jill.
Comments
This is very similar to There Were Two Birds Sitting on a Stone.
