SALLY GO ROUND THE SUNSHINE
d'. No. 1303. Eddie Nelson, Murrells Inlet, S.C., 1937.
"I've flayed it different in different schools. One place we would catch hands and hold 'em up and go-in-and-out-the-window, you know. When we said cBoom! Boom!' we would stop and catch somebody and he had to choose a partner, or sometimes we made him pay a fine.
"Then Pve played it two rings> boys outside and girls inside, goin' different ways. 'Boom! Boom!' means stop and stomp your feet, and you have to take the partner you stop in front of.
"But I like it best just to have one ring and dance to the right for the sun and then to the left for the moon, then back again for the sunshine. Then stop 'Boom! Boom!' and scramble for partners. That just meant you could stand next to the girl you liked best when you played again—if you could get her, I mean." |

Sally go round the sun, Sally go round the moon, Sally go round the sunshine, Every afternoon, Boom! Boom! |
