Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Barley Bridge
Subject: RE: Looking for "Barley Bridge" words & music
This sounds like a version of the children's game "Barley Breaks", which is described rather vaguely in the books by Lady Gomme (Trad. Games of England, Scotland, & Ireland), and Newell (Games & Songs of American Children).You may get more in the book by the Peter & Iona Opie, "Children's Games" [or some such], which I can't look up just now.
