I. Here comes a [or one] jolly hooper, Ring ding di do do, Ring ding di do do. And who are you looking for, In a ring ding di do do, In a ring ding di do do? I am looking for one of your daughters, In a ring ding di do do, In a ring ding di do do. What shall her name be, In a ring ding di do do, In a ring ding di do do? Her name shall be [Sarah], In a ring ding di do do, In a ring ding di do do. Sarah shall ramble, In a ring ding di do do, In a ring ding di do do, All around the chimney [jubilee] pot in 1881. —Deptford, Kent (Miss Chase). II. I’ve come for one of your daughters, With a ring a ding a my dolly; I’ve come for one of your daughters On this bright shining night. Pray, which have you come for, With a ring a ding a my dolly? Pray which have you come for On this bright shining night? I’ve come for your daughter Mary, With a ring a ding a my dolly; I’ve come for your daughter Mary On this bright shining night. Then take her, and welcome, With a ring a ding a my dolly; Then take her, and welcome, On this bright shining night [incomplete]. —Sheffield (S. O. Addy). (_b_) A number of children stand against a wall, and a row of other children face them. They walk backwards and forwards, singing the first and third verses. Then the children who are standing still (against the wall) answer by singing the second and fourth verses. When these are sung the moving line of children take Mary and dance round, singing “some lines which my informant,” says Mr. Addy, “has forgotten.” (_c_) I have no description of the way Miss Chase’s game is played. It, too, is probably an incomplete version. The words “Ring ding di do do “show a possible connection between this and games of the “Three Dukes a-riding” type. They may or may not be variants of the same game. See “Here comes a Lusty Wooer,” “Here comes a Virgin,” “Jolly Rover,” “Three Dukes.” Jolly Miller [Music] —Epworth, Doncaster (C. C. Bell). [Music] —Earls Heaton (H. Hardy). [Music] —Derbyshire (Mrs. Harley). I. There was a jolly miller, and he lived by himself, As the wheel went round he made his pelf; One hand in the hopper, and the other in the bag, As the wheel went round he took his grab. —Leicester (Miss Ellis). II. There was a jolly miller, he lived by himself, As the mill went round he made his wealth; One hand in the hopper, another in his bag, As the wheel went round he made his grab. —Liphook, Hants (Miss Fowler).
