BIDDY BIDDY
Jamaican: trad

Biddy, Biddy, hol' fas' los' my gold ring,
Carry me to London come back again
Biddy, Biddy, hol' fas' master gold ring,
Carry me to London come back again


According to the notes accompanying this song:
"For this game the players stand in a ring with fists held close together. As they sing, 'Master' goes from player to player pretending to drop the ring into each one's fists.
'Jack' is watching and tries to guess where the ring really is. If he guesses right he takes that player's place and the song begins over again."
