AMERICAN SONG-GAMES AND WONDEK-TALES.

Mosquito Dance.

"Mosquito he fly high,
Mosquito he fly low (sway body),
I get my foot on mosquito head
He'll never fly no mo' (turn hands).

"Bile the cabbage done,
Bile the cabbage done (whirl round),
I'm not after no foolishness now,
Bile the cabbage done.

"Stop that tickling me,
Stop that tickling me,
I'm not after no foolishness now.
Bile the cabbage done."


Skip, Angelina.

"Skip, Angelina, do go home, do go home,
Skip, Angelina, do go home.
To get your weddin' supper.

"You better not wait till ten o'clock, ten o'clock,
You better not wait till ten o'clock,
To get your weddin' supper.

"Skip all around the cherry tree, cherry tree,
Skip all around the cherry tree,
And get your weddin' supper.

"Walk, Angelina, you go home, you go home,
Ten o'clock will be too late
To get your weddin' supper."


Go on, Lize.

"Go on, Lize,
Go on, Lize,
Go on, Lizy Jane,
The funniest thing I ever saw,
Go on, Lizy Jane.
Buffalo kick off bell-cow's horns.
Go on, Lizy Jane.

"Go on, Lize,
Go on, Lize,
Go on, Lizy Jane,
The black cat skipping clime-eo.
Go on, Lizy Jane.
