We girls sang it when skipping in the 40s and 50s in London. Two girls turned the rope while singing:
'On the mountain stands a lady,
who she is I do not know.
All she wants is gold and silver,
All she wants is a fine young man.
So come in my XXXXX dear,
XXXXX dear, XXXXX dear,
so come in my XXXXX dear
before I run away.
Either a boys name or a girl's name would be called to take their place skipping over the rope.
