Down in the Valley Where the Green Grass Grows

This is played with a long jump rope that's turned by two girls.

Down in the Valley Where the Green Grass Grows

Jump Rope Song

Down in the valley
Where the green grass grows,
Dear little (name*)
Grows like a rose
She grows, she grows,
She grows so sweetly
Down in the valley
Where the green grass grows.**

Down in the Valley Where the Green Grass Grows

Jump Rope Song

Down in the valley
Where the green grass grows,
Dear little (name*)
Grows like a rose
She grows, she grows,
She grows so sweetly
Down in the valley
Where the green grass grows.**
