Draw a pail of water

A string of children, hand in hand, stand in a row. A child 'A' stands in front of them, as leader; two other children ('B' and 'C') form an arch, each holding both the hands of the other. 'A' passes by under the arch, followed by the whole string of children, the last of whom is taken captive by 'B' and 'C'. The verses are repeated, until all are taken.

a. Draw a pail of water,

For my lady's daughter;

My father's a king, and my mother's a queen,

My two little sisters are dress'd in green,

Stamping grass and parsley,

Marigold leaves and daisies.

b. One rush, two rush,

Pray thee, fine lady, come under my bush.
