What does "my fair lady" mean? I have just listened to the song "London bridge is falling down." I have read that this song's meaning relates to difficulties experienced in building the bridge again. Is that true? I am also curious about the fair lady in the song. Anyone knows about the fair lady in the song. Please let me know. :) Thanks a lot.

'Fair' means pretty, nice to look at. You could have said 'my pretty lady', but it wouldn't have kept the beat of the song. Just a little history - 'fair' originally referred to a woman whose face was not scarred with smallpox. Later, it came to mean pretty. Some words change their meaning over centuries.
