These rhymes were given me largely by my wife, Olwyn Orde Browne, who got them some fifteen years ago in Eagle Rock; others came from the following persons: Mrs. Leonard Mikules, who obtained them from pupils at the UCLA University Elementary School; Miss Imelda McNamee, Altadena; Miss Andyce Orde, Eagle Rock, who heard them ten years ago; Mrs. Dorothy Mitchell, Los Angeles.
22. On a hillside stands a lady;
Who she is I do not know.
All she wants is gold and silver;
All she wants is a handsome beau.
So, come in my (---) dear,
My (---) dear, my (---) dear.
So, come in my (---) dear,
And I shall go out.
