Jamaican Nursery Rhymes


Not sure these nursery rhymes were indigenous to Jamaica, but I am sure they are slowly being rid from our memories. If you can remember some that I have not listed here, do me a favor and list it in the comments. Thanks

1) When beautiful school days are over
     And grown men and women are we
    We will think of them ever and say, Oh Lord
    Bring back those beautiful school days back to me

2) Tinga Linga Ling
School Bell a ring
Knife and fork a fight
Fi dumpling (not sure which came first)

(this may have been a song by Shabba Ranks)



3) School ova
Donkey Tun ova

4) 
Peace porridge hot
Peace porridge cold
Peace porridge in the pot nine days old
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
nine days old. 


5) 
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
And all the kings horses
And all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again

6) Hey diddle diddle
The cat on the fiddle
The cow jumps over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun
and the Dish ran aay with the spoon

7)
I'm a little teap pot
Short and stout
Here is my handle hear is my spout
When I'm hot and steamy 
Hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out

8)
