King Henry
“K ING Henry ” somewhat resembles “I dree I droppit it;” only, instead of standing, the girls forming the ring sit, or rather crouch in a sort of working-tailor attitude. One girl, occupying the centre, is “it.” A second girl is on the outside. Immediately the ring begins singing the rhyme:—
King Henry, King Henry,
Run, boys, run;
You with the red coat,
Follow with the drum,the one on the outside is pursued by the girl from the centre. The rhyme may be repeated as often as the ring decides; but the object of the one who is “it” is to overtake and “tig” the other before the singing ceases. Otherwise she remains unrelieved, and must try, and try, until she succeed in getting out, and putting another in her place; and so on.
