CUT THE OATS           Old Danish
Cut the oats, the one here
Who shall do the binding.
It shall be my dearest dear,
Oh tell me where to find him!
I saw him by moonshine,
Clear on yestereven. II. You take thine, and 111 take mine,
And one alone we're leaving. III. Ha! ha! ha! How glad we are!
And we will all forsake him.
The bachelor alone must go,
For nobody will take him.
Ha! ha! ha! How glad we are!
And we will all forsake him.
The bachelor alone must go,
For nobody will take him. FORMATION: Double circle. Odd man in center. I. Grand right and left. Odd man cuts into circle. II. Take partners, leaving an extra man. Ill, Partners, hand joined, walk counter-clockwise.
