II.  'There's a Lady on the Mountain.'

Make a ring with one girl in the middle and sing :—

"There's a lady on the mountain,
 Who she is I do not know;
  All she want is gold and silver;
  All she want is a nice young man.

Now you're married you must be good,
Make your husband chop the wood.
Chop it fine and bring it in,
Give three kisses in the ring."
