Skipping songs from the past
This is a thread for the girls. As a rope holder I know a few myself but I wondered could we jog a few memories of the rhymes we skipped too.
On a Mountain
On a mountain stands a lady,
Who she is I do not know,
All she wears is Gold and Silver,
All she needs is a fine young man,
So I call in _______ dear, ________dear, _________dear,
So I call in _______ dear, while I go out to play,
Good-day.
(The named girl jumps in when called, and the original girl jumps out on Good-day)
We sang call in my very best friend!
Where did that come from?
As a poet of sorts skipping songs amuse and I find them interesting because of their spontaniety. They also reflect class consciousness at times. However it is also fair to say the ingenuity of them springs from the fairer sex.
