Thread Name: Lyr ADD: The Big Ship Sails
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Big Ship Sails
In the 1940s,when I was a child, we played a circle game while singing "The big ship sails through the ILLY ALLIE O. One person would start to weave under the arms of the two people next to him and all other players would follow. When all had weaved through, the leader would reverse the movement and eventually (after a lot of confusion and laughing) the original circle would be reformed.
