    Sally sitting sewing
    In her little house
    Nobody comes to see her
    But a little mouse
    Rise Sally rise Sally
    Wipe up your eyes
    Turn to the east
    Turn to the west
    Turn to the very one that you love best
    The little girl in the middle then gets up wipes her eyes turns towards the east and then turns towards the west.
    She then turns l around and looks at all the children. She points to the one she loves the best. That one goes into the middle and the game is performed over again.
