This is developed into a game in "Old Hampshire Singing Games'' (Curwen, l|-) The second verse is"Pray who will you have for your nuts away" the third verse, "Pray who will you send to fetch her away "and the fourth verse ''We'll send Carry Bailey to fetch hera-

way,"always ending,"On a cold and frosty morning." Two rows of children face each other. One side names a child on the other side.who is then pulled over, unless she is the stronger. The game is continued until the losing side is pulled over. "Nuts in May," the usual title, is rather unseasonable, but inconsistency can hardly be eliminated from nursery rhymes, and is indeed one of theirattractions.
