Lyr. Add: Walking Roun' de Valley
Jamaica, game song

Go walkin' roun' de valley,
Go walkin' roun' de valley,
Go walkin' roud' de valley,
An' follow in de depths so sweet.

Go face an' front yo' lover
Go face an' front yo' lover
Go face an' front yo' lover
An follow in de depths so sweet.

An' now we are married (3x)
An follow in de depths so sweet.

Go wheel around yo' lover (3x)
An follow in de depths so sweet.

The players form a ring. "One player on the outside of the ring walks about the circle, enters and chooses a partner. He then dances with her, according to the words of the song. The one selected goes outside the ring, and the game continues in this pattern."

With musical score, pp. 116-117.
