The Celtic Art Coracle Volume 1 Issue 7
Games Children Play - Paddy Graber ( continued)

Mother: You may come.

Children:

We're very glad to hear of it,
Hear of it, hear of it.
We're very glad to hear of it,
And may we come in red?

Mother: Red is for soldiers.

Children:

We're very sorry to hear of it,
Hear of it, hear of it.
We're very sorry to hear of it,
And may we come in blue?

Mother: Blue is for sailors.

Children:

We're very sorry to hear of it,
Hear of it, hear of it.
We're very sorry to hear of it,
And may we come in yellow?

Mother: Yellow is for jealousy.

Children:

We're very sorry to hear of it,
Hear of it, hear of it.
We're very sorry to hear of it,
And may we come in pink?

Mother: Pink is for babies.

Children:

We're very sorry to hear of it,
Hear of it, hear of it.
We're very sorry to hear of it,
And may we come in white?

Mother: White is for weddings.

Children:

We're very sorry to hear of it,
Hear of it, hear of it.
We're very sorry to hear of it,
And may we come in black?

Mother: Black is for mourning.
