lyrics to very old ryhme

Hey, Mary2. Welcome to A2K. Wow! I had forgotten that old rhyme...

Let's see if I can recall:

Solomon Grundy born on Monday
Got Sick on Tuesday,
Worse on Wednesday
Hmmmmm. Let me check...

Ok, I missed a couple of days

Solomon Grundy,

Born on Monday,

Christened on Tuesday,

Married on Wednesday.

Sick on Thursday,

Worse on Friday,

Died on Saturday,

Buried on Sunday,

That was the end

Of Solomon Grundy.

What a morbid way to teach a kid the days of the week.

Hi Letty, I can't believe I found someone who knew that! We said "Ingamond" instead of Solomon, but that could be because of our Norwiegan heritage. I called my Mom right away to fill her in. She's 78 years old and learned it from her parents. I'll pass it along in written form so it stays alive for future generations.
Thank you so much. This is a great site and I'm glad I found it.

I am glad you are here, as well. I do believe that I learned that from a nursery rhyme book that I gave my children. Glad I could help.
