Nursery Rhymes

I'm reading Dustbury this morning which leads to What do you do with a drunken sailor? which I haven't heard in a zillion years, which leads me to the Roud Folk Song Index, which leads to my making a list of all the tunes I recognize from the list in Wikipedia. The full list has a zillion entries, but the Wikipedia page only lists about 750. Most of them I have never heard of, but then I see one I had forgotten about, which leads to looking at the next page, which leads to another tune I had forgotten about, and so I ended up reading all the way to the end. I was surprised to see how many songs about Robin Hood are in this list. Some of the tunes are just short little nursery rhymes, some have been recorded recently and become pop music hits.
