In some versions of this song it's "Little Sally Water".
Little Sally Walker (or Water)
Circle Game
Little Sally Walker
Sittin' in the sand
Cryin' and a-weepin'
For a nice young man.
Rise, Sally, rise.
Wipe your eyes.
Turn to the East
Turn to the West.
Turn to the very one
That you love best.
Notes
In some versions, Sally is sitting in a saucer.

Game Instructions
All the kids stand in the circle singing the song. One kid sits in the middle of the circle pretending to cry and acting out the words. On "Turn to the East" the one in the middle points to a kid. On "Turn to the West" the one in the middle points to another kid. On "Turn to the very one that you love best" the one in the middle points to the next kid to go in the middle of the circle. The game continues until everyone has had a chance to be in the middle.
