Nursery Rhyme. CCLXXXV. Games. Game Of The Gipsy.
By Unknown
GAME OF THE GIPSY.
[One child is selected for Gipsy, one for Mother, and one for Daughter Sue. The Mother says, -
I charge my daughters every one
To keep good house while I am gone.
You and you (points) but specially you,
[Or sometimes, but specially Sue.]
Or else I'll beat you black and blue.
[During the Mother's absence, the Gipsy comes in, entices a child away, and hides her. This process is repeated till all the children are hidden, when the Mother has to find them.]
