Notes

*or "Eevy"

******
In some versions of this game they simply keep repeating, "Blue bells, cockleshells,
eevy, ivy, over."

*****
Jean Carter sent us this version:

Bluebells cockleshell
Eevy ivy over,
My mother said I never should
Play with the gypsies in the wood,
If I did she would say
Naughty little girl go away.
