The Roud Folk Song Index classifies the commonest tune and its variations as number 10266, although it has been set to several others.

Jill was originally spelled Gill in the earliest version of the rhyme and the accompanying woodcut showed two boys at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
