- Description: This song, sung without a trace of shyness, rather indicated a social state of affairs which was an accepted fact. It was not possible to obtain the true history behind the words and quite likely they contain an allusion of some local romance rather than to a local tragedy. Women's dance, with clapping.

- Description: The "raodmaker" refers to a man labouring on the local roads. During this song the 16 months old child on the back of one of the singers was clapping its small hands in time to the rhythms of the song which shows how soon small Africans begin to pick up their African music. Women's dance, with clapping.
