PETE & FAMILY:
What's the one that. . .
On the mountain stands a lady,
Who she is I do not know,
She has lots of gold and silver,
All she wants is a nice youne man.
So come in my Johnny, dear, Johnny dear, Johnny dear
So come in my Johnny, dear,
While I go out to play.
PETE: There's one skipping in the ropes, you see the one comes in . . . whosoever name it was that was shouted you see .. .
