Poor Fair lady

Been a long long time since I've read nursery rhymes. Thanks to my nephew, I got a chance to listen to those rhymes again today. But one of the rhymes really took me by surprise.
London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
London Bridge is falling down,My fair Lady.
Build it up with iron bars,
iron bars, iron bars,
Build it up with iron bars,My fair Lady.

Are we asking the fair lady to build up the broken london bridge with iron bars? I never realised this my fair lady might be a civil engineer repairing the broken bridges! :)

p.s: Ignore the sheer stupidity of this post.. but the idle brain couldnt think of anything else to post!
