Seems I remember a saying we kids used to say when we saw a ladybug, but that was long ago. So I don't recall how it goes now. I remember pieces of it only. Could it go on to say, "fly away home. Your house is on fire and your children will burn." Is that it? Sounds silly now. LOL

Thanks to those who sent the words to this, a nursery rhyme. I found this interesing suggestion of a source for the rhyme at a website called 'nurseryrhymesforbabies.com' - "The ties between the ladybug and the fire could also come from the idea that ladybugs are helpful for keeping harmful pests from crops. Farmers who burned their crops yearly may have shouted this rhyme out before lighting the fields on fire so that the benevolent ladybugs would have a chance to get away. This points to the idea that this rhyme was written about a farming tradition. It is possible that it was originally written about Catholic mass but then later transformed in meaning to be about farming and the helpful role of the ladybugs in farming."

Other suggestions were given but this one made the most sense to me!
