Lyrics
(Folk song)
Sammy Sackett, hold on to my jacket.
Hold on to my coat,
That’s the way we board the boat.
Circle Singing Game
Formation: Students stand in a circle with one student, who is “It” outside the circle.
As students sing the song, “It” walks around outside the circle and taps students gently. Students who are tapped leave the circle and follow behind “It,” holding on to a shirt or shoulder.
Recorder Notes G, A, B, D'
