    Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.

    Game Directions
    Double line formation facing forward, the girls on the boys' right.
    1st verse - The first girl in line steps out and walks clockwise around both the girls' and the boys' lines and
    returns to her place.
    2nd verse - Same girl repeats her journey with the whole line of boys following her.
    3rd verse - Following the head of their line, the boys peel off and march sharply to the left, doubling back
    upon themselves, while the girls do the same walking sharply to the right. When the first couple
    meet, they form an arch under which the two lines pass. During this verse the children go through
    the motions suggested by the words of the song. There is now a new first couple and the game continues.
    It may also be played with the girls looking for a boy.
