Previous page: London Bridge is Broken DownAnother version of this ballad contains the following stanzas, coming in immediately after the third verse, "Silver and gold will be stolen away;" though the propositions for building this bridge with iron and steel, and wood and stone, have in this copy also already been made and objected to. Then we must set a man to watch. Dance o'er my Lady Lea; Then we must set a man to watch, With a gay La-dee. Suppose the man should fall asleep, Dance o'er my Lady Lea; Suppose the man should fall asleep, With a gay La-dee. Then we must put a pipe in his mouth, Dance o'er my Lady Lea; Then we must put a pipe in his mouth, With a gay La-dee. Suppose the pipe should fall and break, Dance o'er my Lady Lea; Suppose the pipe should fall and break, With a gay La-dee. Then we must set a dog to watch, Dance o'er my Lady Lea; Then we must set a dog to watch With a gay La-dee. Suppose the dog should run away, Dance o'er my Lady Lea; Suppose the dog should run away. With a gay La-dee. Then we must chain him to a post, Dance o'er my Lady Lea; Then we must chain him to a post, With a gay La-dee.
