Lyrics
(African American folk song)
Been all around my last time, last time, last time
Been all around my last time,
Young lady, hold the key.
First watch that lady how she hold that key,
Young lady hold the key.
Game
Formation: Students stand in a circle with one student (“It”) in the center who pretends to hold the key.
While singing, “It” makes motions the other students imitate.
