Dollar, dollar, you must wonder,
From one hand into another,
Is it fair, is it fair?
Keep that Chinaman off of that chair.

(Mrs. Ash: "Then it's the same thing again. You tie a ring on a string and form a circle, and they keep a-shoving the ring from hand to hand, and the one in the center has to guess the person that has the ring or he has to stay there until he does find the ring.")

Dollar, dollar, you must wonder,
From one hand into the other,
Is it fair, is it fair?
Keep that Chinaman off of that chair.
