"To market, to market", "To market, to market, to buy a fat pig" or To market, to buy a fat pig is a nursery rhyme which is based upon the traditional rural activity of going to a market or fair where agricultural produce would be bought and sold. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19708. ==Lyrics== The first complete recorded version of the rhyme appeared in 1805 in ''Songs for the Nursery'' with no reference to a pig: :To market, to market to buy a penny bun, :Home again, home again, market is done.〔I. Opie and P. Opie, ''The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes'' (Oxford University Press, 1951, 2nd edn., 1997), p. 299.〕 When the rhyme reappeared later in the nineteenth century, it took the now common form: :To market, to market, to buy a fat pig, :Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. :To market, to market, to buy a fat hog, :Home again, home again, jiggety-jog. :To market, to market, to buy a plum bun, :Home again, home again, market is done.〔 There have been many variations such as this reworking: :To market, to market, to buy a fat pig! :Home with it! home with it! jiggety jig! :Stuff it till Christmas and make a fat hog, :Then at Smithfield Show win a prize, jiggety jog! 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「To market, to market」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
