- This is a game that ten or twelve children take part in. They form into one big ring, and they select one to sit, in the middle. The girl, in the middle, closes her eyes and while the others are running around her they sayLittle Mary Ann
Sitting on the sand
Rise Sally rise
Weep from your eyes
Turn to the East
Turn to the West
Turn to the one
That you love bestThen she catches one of them and the rest sing again.Now you are married.
And you must obey
Give her a kiss
And send her away.- Collector
