Upon a Hill There stands a Lady- (Linc) 1952 Opie A
[From: "Children's games with things: marbles, fivestones, throwing &c" by Iona Archibald Opie and Peter Opie, 1997. Cleethorpes is a seaside resort on the estuary of the Humber in North East Lincolnshire. This is a version of the Nursery song text ending ("Madam, I Am Come To Court You" ending).

Upon a hill there stands a lady,
Who she is I do not know.
I'll go and court her for her beauty,
She will answer yes or no.
(Cleethorpes, 1952. Folk-song version)
