2 6 SWEDISH SONG GAMES
Setting. A large circle, facing the center, hand in hand, walking
with quick step to the right. Several boys inside, walking one after
another to the left with hips firm.
Description. At i, as in setting. At 2, all drop-hands and walk,
one after another, imitating sowing motion during 2 and 3, by taking
grain with right hand from bag held under left arm, flinging arm to
the right and scattering grain on the words "way" and "seed" with
a sweep of the arm from right to left; at 4, fold arms over chest; at
5, stamp with left foot; at 6, clap hands; at 7, make a complete turn
to the left. The boys inside the circle go through the same movements.
II
See what I’m holding so firmly by the hand, —
A gay little maiden so charming!
With/ibbons of blue and a gown of softest hue,
This gay little maid is very charming;
For she’s full of fun,
And fast she can run;
But merrily, ah, merrily
Away I must go to my farming.
Description. The large circle again moves, hand in hand, to the
right. At i, the boys inside choose partners. They walk, hand in
hand, to the left. At 5, they stop with ring grasp, and swing hands in
time to music. At 7, the boys roguishly leave their partners and
take places in the large circle. The game begins again, this time with
the girls inside.
III
(Repeat the first verse.)
IV
See what I’m holding so firmly by the hand, —
A gay little laddie so charming.
His eyes are bright blue, and he’s brave and strong and true:
This gay little lad is very charming;
For he’s full of fun,
And fast he can run;
But merrily, ah, merrily
Away we must go to our farming.
