A play that we used to play when we were children in Savannah.

A ring play, just a ring play, a children's ring play

Alabama Singleton sings

A ring play, yes. When you say 'go all around the maypole' you'll join hands and be going around the ring and then you're showing your emotion and doing a little dance.

In the middle of the ring and the rest of the children would be patting their hands.

Yes.

Alright

Well, when you throw around the maypole you doesn't pat because your hands be joined then.
