    Draw Draw Bucket of Water
    Four girls got together, two of the girls must cross their hands. They go running around singing "Draw, Draw, bucket of water for my ladies daughter. One in a bush two in a thrush firm my ladie slip under my bush". Then the first girl gets in under the other girls hands. They start singing again. Draw bucket of water etc. The next girl would get in also, until the four girls are in together. Then they go around saying "Chip chip a bunch of rags" and the game is finished.
