Thanks GUEST,183756823%Diva, for posting that "Oh gosh she crazy" rhyme. I'm assuming that this rhyme was/is recited while girls do partner handclaps. I'm also assuming that the entire post as you wrote it is one rhyme. Am I right about these assumptions?
If you read this, would you please let people reading this thread {series of comments} know where and when you learned this version of this rhyme {what city/state if you're living in the USA or what city/country if you are living outside the USA} and when you learned it {such as 2008 or mid 1990s}. Thanks!

Thanks also GUEST,Kera {perhaps you and GUEST,183756823%Diva are the same person?} for posting that Down here rhyme. The beginning of that rhyme reminds me of the jump rope or ball bouncing rhyme:
Down in the valley where the blue grass grows there sat {girl's name} as sweet as a rose. She sang, she sang, she sang so sweet along came {boy's name} and swept her off her feet. How many kisses did she get? Ah one Ah two Ah three {keep counting until you miss}.

Kera, would you please answer the same questions that I asked GUEST,183756823%Diva:
1. What kind of rhyme is this {for instance is it a handclap rhyme, or a jump rope rhyme, or a ball bouncing rhyme or all of these, or do you do other movements while you recite it?}
2. Where do you live {In which city/state did you learn this rhyme?}
3. When did you learn this rhyme {what year, or decade?}
Also, it would be great if you would share information about who recites this rhyme-for instance, are they recited by girls only?, what are the ages of the girls? and what is the race or races of the girls who recite this rhyme?
Answers to these questions will be helpful to folklorists and other people interested in children's rhymes who gather information about the kinds of rhymes children recite, and how the words and play activities of children's rhymes might change over time, among different people, and in different places.
