A-weeping on a bright summer's day

I have read today in Steve Roud's London Lore an interesting statement about some children's games going on in Camden Town in the early 20th century: "But there are girls playing there too, and it is they who 'bring a spice of poetry into the games of street'". The following extract is from Edwin Pugh's The City of the World (c. 1912). It is sooo sweet:

"Poor Jenny is a-weeping, a-weeping, a-weeping
Poor Jenny is a-weeping, on a bright summer's day
On the carpet you shall kneel
While the grass grows in the field
Stand up, stand up upon your feet
Choose the one you love so sweet
Choose once, choose twice, choose three times over!

There is a pause. Now a little boy and a big girl stand demurely, with linked hands, in the middle of the ring of dancing children. They circle round, singing

Now you're married I wish you joy
First a girl and then a boy
Seven years after son and daughter
Pray and cuddle and kiss together!
Kiss her once, kiss her twice, kiss her three times over!

The boy and girl embrace shyly. The girl kisses the boy on the cheek".

If you know similar children's plays and lyrics on love and marriage, whatever they are from, please, post them. I love this kind of stuff.
