I learned this song as a child, maybe in school, maybe in Girl Scouts? I vaguely remember the circle game that went with it. Later, but still years ago, I heard it played on Scottish bagpipes, with no other name than "Call to Arms". My guess is that the Harlem/Dover lyrics and game were added later, and that if it originally had words at all, they would have been Scottish ones related to raising the clans. |
