Little Sally Walker

Introduction

This is a circle game song.  The challenge is in the rhythm.  You’ve got to “swing” it.  That means to give the rhythm a sort of a sway that makes it move.  The swing is the quality of the rhythm that makes you want to get up and dance.  By “swinging” the rhythm, you’re sort of adding some syncopation to it.  Syncopation is when the sounds of the notes take a long-short pattern.
