When they sang “I ac’ gemmun moshuns,” he would stick his hat on one side of his head, take a walking-cane in his hand, and strut back and forth, to represent a gentleman. In the “lady moshuns,” he would take little mincing steps, and toss his head from side to side, and pretend to be fanning with his hand. “I ac’ chil’en moshuns” was portrayed by his pouting out his lips and twirling his thumbs, or giggling or crying. When they sang “I ac’ preacher moshuns,” he straightened himself back, and began to “lay off” his hands in the most extravagant gestures. “I ac’ nigger moshuns” was represented by scratching his head, or by bending over and pretending to be picking cotton or hoeing. The representation of the different motions was left entirely to the taste and ingenuity of the actor, though it was the rule of the game that no two people should represent the same character in the same way. If one acted the lady by a mincing walk, the next one must devise some other manner of portraying her, such as sewing, or playing on an imaginary piano, or giving orders to servants, or any thing that his fancy would suggest. The middle man or woman was always selected for his or her skill in taking off the different characters; and when they were clever at it, the game was very amusing to a spectator. After one or two games of “Monkey Moshuns,” some one proposed they should play “Lipto,” which was readily acceded to. All joined hands, and formed a ring around one in the middle, as before, and danced around, singing, “Lipto, lipto, jine de ring; Lipto, lipto, dance an’ sing; Dance an’ sing, an’ laugh an’ play, Fur dis is now er halerday.” Then, letting loose hands, they would all wheel around three times, singing, “Turn erroun’ an’ roun’ an’ roun’;” then they would clap their hands, singing, “Clap yer han’s, an’ make’ em soun’;” then they would bow their heads, singing, “Bow yer heads, an’ bow ’em low;” then, joining hands again, they would dance around, singing, “All jine han’s, an’ hyear we go.” And now the dancers would drop hands once more, and go to patting, while one of the men would step out with a branch of honeysuckle or yellow jessamine, or something twined to form a wreath, or a paper cap would answer, or even one of the boys’ hats—anything that would serve for a crown; then he would sing, “Lipto, lipto—fi-yi-yi; Lipto, lipto, hyear am I, Er holdin’ uv dis goldin’ crown, An’ I choose my gal fur ter dance me down.”
