Hello all,
No one has mentioned one I remember from my childhood (late 60's). This
was a 'clapping' song - two girls faced one another and clapped their hands
together, crossing arms etc in a pattern. The verse was:
Miss Mary Mack, Mack Mack,
Had silver buttons all down her
back, back,
A clapping song that I remember; taught to me by my mother who knew it
from her childhood, 1930s.
My mother said,
I never should,
Play with the gypsies
In the woods.
If I did,
She would say
Naughty bad girl
To disobey.
