Still simpler yet is "Carry
my Lady to London." In this genie two children cross hands grasping each
other's wrists and their own as well thus forming a seat, on which a
third child can be carried. When hoisted and in order, the bearers step
out singing: -
Gie me a needle to stick i'
my thumb,
To carry my lady to London;
London Bridge is broken down,
And I must let my lady down.
Each child is thus carried in turn. |
