   Get a crowd of children with the eldest, in the middle for the Mother. On the other side, there is a girl by herself. Then the mother and the child sing:-
   "Here's an old woman from Sandyland".
   With all her children by her hand.
   One can knit, one can sow, and one can make a lily white bow,
   Please take one in".
   The other girl replies:-
   "The fairest one that I can see,
   Is (a name) come along with me"
   Then the girl walks over to her ,
   while the mother and the rest of the
   children sing:-
   "Now poor (name) is safe and sound,
   And in her pocket a thousand
   pounds.
   On her finger an engagement ring,
   She is fit to marry any king
   Good bye (name) good bye".
   The game keeps going like that.
