Lost Lyrics, History and Origins of Old Nursery Rhymes
The words and lyrics of Nursery Rhymes are important to our history and culture. We have therefore included in this section the 'Lost Lyrics of Old Nursery Rhymes'- the words and lyrics to the lesser known and old nursery rhymes that are in danger of being lost forever. Fashions come and go, child care methods change but we still repeat the favourite and famous old nursery rhymes to our children. Reciting old Nursery Rhymes to children is the most pleasurable first step to providing our children's education. But this particular section will be of interest to the adults! We were really surprised at the number of old nursery rhymes that we had never heard of before! Our interest grew and grew! We managed to purchase some really old books containing nursery rhymes and realised that they all should be available online - hence this section and why we called it 'Lost Lyrics of Old Nursery Rhymes' - a free, online resource containing the words and lyrics to as many old nursery rhymes as we could locate - and their history and origins.
