“Hipperty-Hop, Hipperty-Hop! Joyfully now we sing, As we hop to the right and hop to the left, Around Dan Tucker’s ring!” Keeping time with the music the players go, with a hipperty-hop step, to the right of the first and to the left of the second, weaving in and out until the partners meet; then right-about-face and back again in the same manner to their places. Next all join hands and Circle Around Tucker, Singing “Go round and round old Tucker, Go round and round old Tucker, Go round and round old Tucker, As we have gone before!” When the couples are again back in their places the song is changed, and suiting the action to The Words, They Sing “I put my right hand in, I put my left hand out, I give my right hand a shake, shake, shake, And turn myself about!” Using the same verse the girls now sing, “I put my pretty face in,” etc. Then their partners sing, “I put my ‘ugly mug’ in,” etc. Then all sing “I put my right foot in,” etc., and after the last shake of the right foot all again join hands and advancing and Crowding on Tucker from all sides, and back again to places, they sing “Go in and out the window, Go in and out the window, Go in and out the window, As we have done before.” Changing the refrain, they next sing “Go Stand and Face Your Partner,” repeating three times, and ending with “as we have done before.” At the last word they face their partners and give them their right hand, their left hand to the next, and, giving hands right and left, sing “Hipperty-Hop Hipperty-Hop,” ending this time with “Now Let Old Tucker Join Us.” As soon as Tucker has secured the partner he wants he shouts “Get out of the way for old Dan Tucker, You’re too late to get your supper,” and the boy or man left without a partner is “It” for the next game. The tunes for the verses can be obtained from the children. This is all taken from children’s games. Pitch-peg-pin Pitching is a great game for hilarious fun. The pegs are sticks, two feet long, sharpened at one end, and nine in number. Put the pointed ends in the ground, forming a diamond, with each peg two feet from its nearest neighbor, and the one at one apex about twenty feet from a taw-line. Let All the Girls, big, little, married, and unmarried, form one side, and an equal number of boys, old and young, form the other side. The boys then choose a First Lady, who is to lead their opponents, and the girls choose a First Gentleman, who is to command the men. With three short clubs in her hands the First Lady toes the taw-line and endeavors to knock all the pegs down, in three consecutive throws with the clubs. The pegs are then reset, the score recorded, and The First Gentleman Takes
