The Wings' rock version of the popular nursery rhyme. Released as a single. The B-side of the record featured the song "Little Woman Love."
Note that although Paul and Linda McCartney are credited with writing this song, their contribution is really more along the lines of arranging the music. The lyrics of the song are essentially identical to that of the original nursery rhyme written by Sarah Josepha Hale and John Roulstone.
