A number Of children form & line. hold
ing each others hands, and act as tn,
sons and daughters. Another child or
grown person acts as the mother. stand
ing in front Of the line, while it sings
to her, swinging hands.
The words ere as follows:
Children
Mary's gone a-milking,
Mother, mother,
Marv's gone a-milking,
Gentle, sweet mother O. mine.
Mother
Take yoUr pals and go after her,
Children, children;
Take your pals and go after her,
Gentle, sweet children o. mine
Then the following verses. with the
refrain.
Children-Buy me a new pair Of milk
ing pals.
Mother. mother, &c.
Mother-WhcTe's the money to come
from?
Children, children. &c.
Niiiivi tit--sotli my AdNicA 1edtHeIDtu.
&c.
Mother-whats your father to sleep
on? &C
Mother-what are the children to sleep
on? &c.
Children-Put him in the trundIe bed.
&c
Chndren-Put them in the pig-sty. sc.
Mothcr--What are the pigs to lie in? dc.
Children-Put them in the washing
tubs. &c,
Mother-What am to wash in? &c.
Children-Wash in your thimbIe, &c.
Mother-Thimble won't hold your "a
ther's shirt &c.
Children--Wash in the river. &c.
Mother-Suppcse the clothes should
blow away? &c.
Children-Set a man to watch them &c.
Motner-Suppose the man should go to
sleep? &c.
Children-Take a boat and go after
him. &c
Mother-suppose the boat should be
upset? &c.
Childrcn-Then that would be an end
Of you, &c.
When the children have sung the last
verse the mother swoops down upon
them to seize and beat whom she can
catch.
The first one caught must act as mo- her
in the next game.
The children should advance and re-
tire in rhythm with the music as they
sing their verses. and the mother should
sway her body rhythmically as she sings.
