If you’re a fan of nursery rhymes, you might like to check out Nursery Rhymes: Lyrics and Origins.
This site has information on quite a few rhymes, from the standards (e.g. “Baa Baa Black Sheep”) to some that I’d never heard of (e.g. “Tommy Snooks and Bessie Brooks”).
The explanations for the origins of the rhyme are not always extensive, but readers are invited to send in more information if they know of it.
