- We play lots of games in school. I am going to discribe the following one:-"There's a lady on the Mountain"As many persons as like can play this game. They all stand round in a ring and a lady stands in the middle. They all sing:-"There's a lady on the mountain,
Who she is I do not know.
All she wants is gold and silver.
And a new young man you know.
Choose your lover, Choose your lover.
Choose your lover farewell."The lady goes round and puts her hands on her eyes and picks out a boy. Then they go to church to get married. First they kneel down, secondly he puts the ring on her finger and thirdly they kiss one another. Then they go home and have a wedding feast.- Collector
