Daisy chains, String Games and Knuckle Bones

Daisy chains, Strings Games and Knuckle Bones
Before we were taken from our Kurongk home
I remember when I was young
Me and my sister were having fun
Making daisy chains, short and long
Daisy chains, Strings Games and Knuckle Bones
Before we were taken from our Kurongk home

String games, string games, we would play
Two players is the only way to play
Cup and Saucer, Build the Bridge, Rock the Cradle,
This is what we did
Oh Daisy Chains, String Games and Knuckle Bones
Daisy chains, Strings Games and Knuckle Bones
Before we were taken from our Kurongk home

Knuckle bones, knuckle bones we would play
Collected from the family stews in those days
Scrub them, wash them, dry them in the sun
And paint them pretty colours when the game begun

Daisy chains, Strings Games and Knuckle Bones
Before we were taken from our Kurongk home
