    Nuts in May
    Any number can play Nuts In May except that there has to be an equal number on each side. As an example say thirteen girls stand in a line and thirteen more stand opposite them, they say this rhyme.
    I 'Here we go a gathering Nuts In May,
    Nuts in May, Nuts in May.
    Here we go a gathering Nuts in May,
    This cold and frosty morning.
    II Who will we get for Nuts In May,
    Nuts In May, Nuts in May.
    Who will we get for Nuts In May,
    This cold and frosty morning.
    You then name out two girls for Nuts In May, like..
    III Edna Killeen for Nuts In May,
    Nuts In May, Nuts In May.
    Edna Kileen for Nuts In May,
    This cold and frosty morning."
