The nursery rhyme 'See saw Margery Daw' is thought to date back to 1765 when it was published in Mother Goose's Melody.
There are a number of thoughts on how it originated. It could be as a singing game on the children's favourite ride the see saw or perhaps it was a work song for a for sawyers, helping them keep rhythm when using a two-person saw.
'See saw Margery Daw' lyrics
See saw Margery Daw, Johnny shall have a new master, He shall earn but a penny a day, Because he can't work any faster.
