Draw a pail of water

HNR 375

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 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.

b
Sieve my lady's oatmeal,
Grind my lady's flour;
Put it in a chest nut,
Let it stand an hour.
One-a-me rush! Two-a-me rush!
Pray thee, young lady, creep under the bush.
