ROUND AND ROUND THE VILLAGE
In and out the windows, In and out the windows; In and out the windows, As you have gone before.
Round about the village, Round about the village; Round about the village, As you have gone before.
Soon we will get married, Soon we will get married; Soon we will get married, And never more depart.
—Sporle, Norfolk (Miss Matthews).
XVII. Three jolly sailor boys Lately come ashore,
Spend their time in drinking lager wine, As they have done before.
We go round, and round, and round, As we have done before; And this is a girl, and a very pretty girl, A kiss for kneeling there.
Go in and out the window, Go in and out the window; Go in and out the window, As we have done before.
Follow me to London, Follow me to London ; Follow me to London,
As we have done before.
Go back and face your lover, Go back and face your lover; Go back and face your lover, As we have done before. —Brigg (from a Lincolnshire friend of Miss J. Barker).
