Re: Jamaican Folk Songs...help
Brown Girl in the Ring
This is a Ring game (no doubt adapted from England).
Players form a ring holding hand, one girl goes into the middle of the ring and starts skipping around to the beat of this little tune -
There's a brown girl in the ring
cha la la la lah
There's a brown girl in the ring
cha la la la lah
There's a brown girl in the ring
cha la la la lah
She looks like a sugar in a plum -- PLUM PLUM
the girl will start doing her favourite bump adn grind dance during this song segment
Show me your motion
cha la la la lah

She looks like a sugar in a plum -- PLUM PLUM
during this segment the girl will pick her partner/friend to join her in the ring
Show me your partner(?)
