This is an excellent and challenging little etude for anyone who wants to advance their technical skills.

Much loved from my youth. Never better than your rendition. Thanks Mark.
Now Mark, that was cool. Loved it.
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 fixed his nob with vinegar and brown paper.
Jill came in. How she did grin to see Jack's paper plaster.
Dame Dob, vexed, did spank her next, for laughing at Jack's disaster.
Worth noting, originally the rhyme was Jack and Gill.... two boys.
Also I changed the last line from the original. The original was "Dame Dob vexed did whip her next for causing Jack's disaster." which always seemed super harsh, both from the perspective a whipping a child, and implying that Jill tripped Jack.
There are actually tons of versions of the rhyme after the first verse. I took my text from Sabine Baring-Gould who is, to me, the ultimate authority on Mother Goose.
You breathed new life into this old nursery rhyme Mark. It's actually a lovely melody and funny/clever verses...and should not be allowed to be forgotten!
Can you paste in the lyrics here?- a couple of words are hard to hear.
Nice job!
