"It Rained, It Mist" - Sung by Rebecca Jane Collins, Mount Airy, N.C., July 1962. Collected by George Foss.
It rained, it mist, it rained, it mist,
It rained all over the town,
When the two little babes went out to play,
To toss their ball around, 'round, 'round,
To toss their ball around.
The first they tossed it . . .
And then they tossed it too low
And then they tossed it in the gray goose's[1] yard,
For no one 'lowed to go, go, go,
For no one 'lowed to go.
