Quelques erreurs sur les paroles de votre comptine
- "he played three" entraîne "on my knee" et non "on my tree"
- "he played 7" entraîne "up in heaven" et non "oven"
- he played 9" entraîne "on my spine" et non "line"
- "he played 10" entraîne "up in heaven" et non pas "on my hen"....

Dans un recueil de comptines édité en Grande Bretagne j'ai trouvé ces différences avec votre texte:
-"knick knack," au lieu de nick nack
-"paddy wack" au lieu de "paddy whack"
-"on my thumb "au lieu de "on my drum"
-" three .....on my knee" au lieu de "three .....on my tree"
-" seven .....up in heaven "au lieu de "on my oven"
-"ten......once again" au lieu de "ten ....on my hen"

mais bien sûr les comptines ont toujours des variantes.Cordialement
