We played 'The big ship sails through the alley alley oh' in Somerset in the 1950s, but no dusty bluebells - our version was 'In and out the windows' but the game was much the same, a ring of children holding up their arms to make arches and one going round, in and out of the arches, but I can't remembered what happened next.
There was also 'The Farmer's in his Den' with one child being the farmer, surrounded by a ring of children singing, followed by 'the farmer wants a wife' (a wife would be chosen from the ring of children, then 'the wife wants a dog' (a 'dog' would be chosen), then 'the dog wants a bone' (a 'bone' would be chosen), and 'we all pat the bone' (the circle breaks up and everyone attempts to pat the child chosen to be the 'bone'.
