Manuel Road - a work song and children’s 'pass the pebble’ game from Jamaica

Like most work songs it has a steady beat which is kept by passing
a stone or beanbag round a circle.
I found this traditional song in ‘Bright Ideas, Children’s handbook’
published in 1987. Here it is adapted by Dany Rosevear.
Watch out for new music added each week!

Chorus:
Go down a Manuel Road, girl and boy
We go break rock stone.
Go down a Manuel Road, girl and boy
We go break rock stone.

Verse:
Break them one by one, girl and boy,
Break them one by one, girl and boy.
Break them one by one, girl and boy,
Break them one by one, girl and boy.
