DRAW A PAIL OF WATER / FOR MY LADY'S DAUGHTER by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: "PRAY THEE, YOUNG LADY, CREEP UNDER THE BUSH"

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 dressed in green,
Stamping grass and parsley,
Marigold leaves and daisies.
One-a-me rush! Two-a-me rush!
Pray thee, young lady, creep under the bush.
