"Old Rodger got up and he gave her a blow, gave her a blow, gave her a blow, Old Rodger got up and he gave her a blow, heigh-ho, gave her a blow"
"He made the old woman go hippity hop, hippity hop, hippity hop, he made the old woman go hippity hop, heigh-ho, hippity hop"
The actions are done according to the singing - "The Old Woman from Sandy Land"
One grown up person gets a number of small children and all catch hands. There is one person standing alone. All sing - "There came an old woman from Sandy Land
With all her children by the Land.
One can knit and one can sew
And one can make a lily white bow
One can sit by the fire and spin
Please take one in".(continues on next page)- Collector
