CHERRIES ARE RIPE

CHERRIES are ripe ! cherries are ripe !
0, give the baby one ;
Cherries are ripe ! cherries are ripe !
And baby must have none.

Cherries are too sour to use ;
Babies are too young to choose ;
By-and-by, made in a pie,
No one will then refuse.

Up in a tree a robin I see,
Eating one by one ;
Striking his bill, getting his fill,
As down his throat they run.
Robins want no cherry pie ;

Quick they eat, and off they fly ;
My little child, patient and mild,
Surely will not cry

My mother sang it like this:
Cherries are ripe, cherries are ripe, give little baby some
Cherries are too sour for you, babies are too young to chew
By and by we'll bake you a pie
And give little baby some

Does anyone know the origin of this song?

No, sorry, but I do regularly drive up and down the hill made famous by Jack and Jill.

This is what Wikipedia says.

And where might that hill be?
The Wiki article is a different song altogether,
but thanks for trying!

And where did you find your lyrics to Cherries Are Ripe?

The hill is in the village of Kilmersdon in Somerset.

Between you and me it's a very ordinary hill.

The only way you'd know is the village signs have "Home of Jack and Jill" written underneath.

Oh wow, I thought you were kidding about the hill! Just looked it up - the area around Kilmersdon is lovely. I was surprised to learn Jack and Jill were actual people!
Where did you find lyrics to "Cherries Are Ripe"?

Wikipedia.

The hill is very dull.

Somerset has much better things to look at.

Cheddar Gorge and caves are very popular.

The Soay sheep of Cheddar Gorge are handsome looking to me.

Sorry to keep asking, but where did you find lyrics to "Cherries Are Ripe"?

Wikipedia, that's all I posted.

Two other posters, the OP and intrepid, posted right at the beginning of this thread, but I do not know where they got their lyrics from.
