  1. Playing with little children barefoot, and pulling their toes:
    This pigeon went to the market,
    This one stayed at home.
    This one got bread and butter,
    and this one got none.
    Peek! Peek! said the little one at the barn door
    I'll tell mother when she'll come home.
    Clapping the hands:
    Shake hands brother John
    You're a rogue and I'm another
    You'll be hung for stealing soap
    and I'll be hung for stealing sugar
    You'll be hung in Ballinrobe
    And I'll be hung in Ballintubber.
    Shake hands brother Tom
    You're a rogue and I'm another
