Jack and Jill went up the hill — the full words of the rhyme, including the verse where Jack gets his head mended with vinegar.

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.

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; He went to bed to mend his head With vinegar and brown paper.

Up Jack got and home did trot, As fast as he could caper; He went to bed to mend his head With vinegar and brown paper.

Jill came in and she did grin To see his paper plaster; Mother, vexed, did whip her next For causing Jack's disaster.
