Good-eve-ning! good-eve-ning! Ye merry dan-cers all! Good-eve-ning! good evening! Ye peo-ple great and small. Ye dames and ye mas-ters, ye young men and maidens, To mirth and to danc-ing my fiddle doth call. Good eve-ning! good-eve-ning! Ye mer-ry dan-cers all. Tra la la la la la la la, Tra la la la la la la la, Tra la la la la la la la, Tra la la la la la. bC Allegro. THE JOLLY MILLER. There was a jolly miller And he lived by him-self, As the wheel went 'round He made his wealth; One hand on the hop-per And the oth - er * on the bag, As the wheel went 'round He made his grab. DIRECTIONS FOR PLAYING. An odd number of boys and girls is required in playing this game, the odd one being boy. The players stand in couples, a boy and a girl side by side, and form a double ring, the boys in the inner and the girls in the outer circle. They walk around arm-in-arm while the odd player stands in the center and is the "Miller." The players sing the words while walking. When the word "grab" is sung each boy drops the arm of his partner and tries to catch the arm of the girl in front, taking the place beside her. The "Miller" also tries to secure for himself a partner and a place. If he succeeds, the boy left without a partner becomes the "Miller," and in his turn tries to catch or "grab" a partner. |
