  1. Old Game

    Share Share Post
    Lurabog lurabog limber lock
    Five miles 10 o'clock
    I sat I sung while daylight sprung
    Come Nellis my dear
    Give me the lone of a spear
    To go to the wood
    To kill a fat deer.
    Beetle a bo
    Bottle a show
    Little white dog with his mouth in a cut
    Black foot in.
    The way to play the above game is already described under heading Lurabog Lorabog.
