On a Mountain Stands a Lady (N. Can) 1965

For skipping we would sing (in the 1960s in northern Canada)
On a mountain stands a lady
Who she is I do not know
All she wants is gold and silver
All she wants is ice and snow
So come in my lady, lady, lady
So come in my lady,
While I go out to tea
(this was an invitation for one girl to skip in and take the rope and the other girl to skip out)
