RED LION. 



Red lion, red lion, 

 Come out of your den, 

 Who ever you catches 

 Will be one of your men. 



THE TOWER OF BARBARY. 



This is a pretty little game. A boy represents the Prince 

 of Barbary and has a number of soldiers. A girl, the heroine, 

 stands a little way ofi ; another girl walks round her slowly 

 and sings : 



Oh ! will you surrender 



The Tower of Barbary ? 



The heroine sings in reply : 



I will not surrender, 

 I will not surrender 

 The Tower of Barbary.
