Green Peas, Mutton Pies
This is sung in the tune of ‘Greensleeves’.
[Everyone stands in a ring, the one who is on stands in the middle]
Green peas, mutton pies,Â
Tell me where my mother lies;
I’ll be there before she dies,Â
So call me in my bosom.
I love Clara over, over,Â
[The person called comes in, and the two swing around holding hands in the middle of the ring]
I love Clara in the clover,
I love her and she loves me,Â
And that's the way we both agree.
From the Opie’s ‘The Singing Game’
