Draw a bucket of water
For my lady’s daughter;
A guinea gold ring
And a silver pin,
So pray, my young lady, pop under.

—Haydon (Herbert Hardy).

XI.

Draw a bucket of water
To wash my lady’s garter;
A guinea gold ring
And a silver pin,
Please, little girl, pop under.

—Earls Heaton (Herbert Hardy).

XII.

See-saw, a bucket of water,
To wash my lady’s garter.
One in a rush, and two in a bush,
To see a fine lady pop under a bush.

—Anderby, Lincolnshire, and Nottinghamshire near the Trent (Miss Peacock).

XIII.

One we go rush,
Two we go push;
Lady come under the corner bush.
