When I was in the 4th and 5th grades in a little country school in North Alabama, we played this game, both girls and boys. I cannot remember how the went but we were in a circle. This is how we sang the song......................Sissy in the Bon, was the name of it or that is what we called it. Sissy in the bon, bon in the lerry. Prettiest little girl that I ever did see. Oh bon, bon, put your arms around me. Say my little sissy won't you marry me. Oh step back gal, don't you come nigh me, All those sassy words you said. Oh bon bon put your arms around me. Pretty little sissy, won't you marry me...........This was in the late 1930's. I will be 85 years on April 18, 2014. The reason why I remember the song so well is that I guess I liked it and I would sing it at home all the time. My uncle still at home at time learned it to and it stuck with him as long as he lived. I have a tape with him singing it. As I remember we would sing it real fast.
