Patterson (_Antrim and Down Glossary_) mentions a game called “Leap the
Bullock,” which he says is the same as “Leap-frog.”
Dickinson’s _Cumberland Glossary Supplement_, under “Lowp,” says it
means a leap or jump either running or standing. The various kinds
include “Catskip”—one hitch, or hop, and one jump; “Hitch steppin”—hop,
step, and lowp; a hitch, a step, and a leap; “Otho”—two hitches, two
steps, and a leap; “Lang spang”—two hitches, two steps, a hitch, a step,
and a leap.
See “Accroshay,” “Knights,” “Leap-frog.”

I. Here we dance lubin, lubin, lubin,
Here we dance lubin light,
Here we dance lubin, lubin, lubin,
On a Saturday night.
Put all the right hands in,
Take all the right hands out,
Shake all the right hands together,
And turn yourselves about.

Shake all your left hands together,
And turn yourselves about.
Here we dance lubin, lubin, lubin,
