I Met An Old Man On London Bridge

I met an old man on London bridge,
As the sun set on the ridge,
He tipped his hat and drew his name,
And cheated at the guessing game.

What was the man’s name?

Andrew. In the third line, “and drew his name”. It works better when you say it since the spelling is a bit off when written.

No it’s not Andrew…it is a phrase written above the door at the Johnny Walker distillery in Scotland… Look at the photo of the man on a Johnny walker label…he tips his hat and drew his cane
