In the words of the notorious Andrew Dice Clay... "Jack and Jill went up the hill, each with a buck and a quarter. Jack 'fell' down and broke his crown, and Jill came down with two fifty!" :)

I think Jill pushed him. How would he just fall down a hill? There are so many unanswered questions to this song.

Possible origins from Wiki:
* Marking the event in English history, when, in the 17th century, King Charles I tried to reform the taxes on liquid measures. He was blocked by Parliament, so subsequently ordered that the volume of a Jack (1/2 pint) be reduced, but the tax remained the same. This meant that he still received more tax, despite Parliament's veto. Hence "Jack fell down and broke his crown" (many pint glasses in the UK still have a line marking the 1/2 pint level with a crown above it) "and Jill came tumbling after". The reference to "Jill", (actually a "gill", or 1/4 pint) is an indication that the gill dropped in volume as a consequence.
* Jack and Jill are Louis XVI of France, who was deposed and beheaded (lost his crown), and his Queen, Marie Antoinette (who came tumbling after). The words and lyrics were made more palatable for the nursery by giving it a happy ending. The first publication date for the lyrics of this nursery rhyme is 1795, which corresponds with this history.
* The village of Kilmersdon in Somerset has a long tradition of association with the nursery rhyme. It has been demonstrated that the surname Gilson probably originated in this area and could have been derived from 'son of Jill'.
* In Norse mythology, Hjúki and Bil, a brother and sister (respectively) who, according to Gylfaginning manuscript, were taken up from the earth by the moon as they were fetching water from the well called Byrgir, bearing on their shoulders the cask called Saegr and the pole called Simul.
* In Shakespeare's "Mid Summer Night's Dream" at the end of act three, it is said:
Jack shall have Jill;
Nought shall go ill;

I don't think he was pushed, since Jill fell down the hill soon after.
Unless she felt guilty about pushing him...

He probably tried some funny business up on that hill and Jill kicked him down.

He was pushed by the Muffin Man. He lives on Jury Lane.
