Anna Maria Sat on the Fire
Anna Maria, she sat on the fire.
The fire was too hot,
She sat on the pot.
The pot was too round,
She sat on the ground.
The ground was too flat,
She sat on the cat
The cat ran away with Maria on her back.
Notes
Debi wrote to me saying that a variation of this rhyme was sung to her great grandmother as a kid. Her great grandmother was born in 1886 in England.
