The laddie unties the band from his playmate so shy,
The laddie unties the band from his playmate so shy,
And then from him quickly the maiden does fly,
And then from him quickly the maiden does fly.
Description. During the singing of the last line the girl runs a
little way outside the circle.
IV
To help find the little lassie how fast they all run!
To help find the little lassie how fast they all run!
But soon she returns; she was hiding for fun;
But soon she returns; she was hiding for fun.
Description. All the players start in pursuit, the boy leading.
The fugitive returns and is joyously received by boy. The two dance
with ring grasp, the other players, again in circle around them, singing,
V
So gay is our little laddie, his playmate is found,
So gay is our little laddie, his playmate is found;
The loveliest lady in all the world round,
The loveliest lady in all the world round.
VI
So now both the lad and lassie are jolly and gay,
So now both the lad and lassie are jolly and gay,
For lassie can dance while her laddie can play,
For lassie can dance while her laddie can play.
Note. The boy with the handkerchief now chooses a girl to take his place, and the
game begins again with corresponding changes in the words, substituting the following lines
for verse V.
So gay is the little maiden, her playmate is found,
So gay is the little maiden, her playmate is found;
The handsomest laddie in all the world round,
The handsomest laddie in all the world round.
