The first recorded version of the rhyme appeared in the 18th century, in a book titled “Gammer Gurton’s Garland” (1784).
The rhyme tells the story of two children, Jack and Jill, who go up a hill to fetch a pail of water. While attempting to fetch the water, Jack falls down and injures himself, followed by Jill. The second verse suggests that Jack recovers from his injury, but the fate of Jill is not clear.

Jack and Jill, New Version
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
But instead of crying and feeling blue,
Jack got up and said, “What can we do?”
Jill looked at him with a quizzical glance,
And Jack replied, “Let’s make it a dance!”
So they danced and twirled and spun around,
As the sun shone down on the hill’s soft ground.
They forgot about the water and the broken crown,
And laughed and played until the sun went down.
And when it was time to go back home,
They skipped down the hill and didn’t feel alone.
For even when things don’t go as planned,
A little bit of fun can still be at hand.
Jack and Jill Older Version
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got, and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper,
To old Dame Dob, who patched his nob
With vinegar and brown paper.
