Remember any skipping rhymes?

[Insomniac]

I'm trying to remember some of the skipping rhymes to tell my daughter, but my brain seems covered with dust and cobwebs...! Like: I'm a little bumper car, number 38; went round the corner and slammed on the brake; along came a policeman & put me in jail, how many days did he put me in jail...1, 2, etc Any ideas please...

I remember hearing this one in the streets of Dublin many years ago.

There was an old woman who lived in a wood
Weela weela walya
There was an old woman who lived in a wood
Down by the River Saile

She had a babby three month old
Weela weela walya
She had a babby three month old
Down by the River Saile

She had a penknife three foot long
Weela weela walya
She had a penknife three foot long
Down by the River Saile

She stuck the knife in the babby`s head
Weela weela walya
The more she stuck it the more it bled
Down by the River Saile

Three big knocks come knocking at the door
Weela weela walya
Two policemen and one more
Down by the River Saile

"Are you the woman what killed the child?"
Weela weela walya
"Are you the woman what killed the child?"
Down by the River Saile

"Yes I'm the woman what killed the child�
Weela weela walya
"Yes I'm the woman what killed the child"
Down by the River Saile

They got her and she got hung
Weela weela walya
They got her and she got hung
Down by the River Saile

And that was the end of the woman in the wood
Weela weela walya
That was the end of the woman in the wood
Down by the River Saile

(Saile: pronounced Sarlia)
