A GAME-RHYME, by                    
First Line: "water, water, wall-flower"
Last Line: A-dancing for your sake
Subject(s): Single People; Bachelors;unmarried People


WATER, water wall-flower,
Growing up so high,
We are all maidens,
We must all die.
All except Mary Ann,
She is the whitest flower:
She can skip, and she can sing,
And ding us, ding us ower!

A dis, a dis o' green grass
A daisy dis, a dis!
Come, all ye pretty maidens.
And dance along with this.
And you shall have a duck so blue,
And you shall have a drake,
And you shall have a pretty young man
A-dancing for your sake.
