No. 151 Open the Gates
This game is a variation of the last, and is played similarly, ending with a “tug of war,” as described on page 204.
Open the gates as high as the sky,
And let the King of Spain pass by;
Choose one,
Choose two,
Choose a pretty little girl like you.
More usual is a shorter rhyme, thus:
Open the gates as high as the sky,
And let King George and his troops132 pass by.
