Текст песни Don't You Go a Rushing - Lisa Knapp

Don't you go a-rushing, maids in May
Don't you go a-rushing, maids I say
For if you go a-rushing
They're sure to get you blushing
And steal your rushes away

I went a-rushing, it was in May
I went a-rushing, maids I say
I went a-rushing
They caught me a-blushing
And stole my rushes away

He promised me a chicken without any bone
He promised me a cherry without any stone
He promised me a ring that has no rim
He promised me a babe with no squalling

Don't you go a-rushing, maids in May
Don't you go a-rushing, maids I say
For if you go a-rushing
They're sure to get you blushing
And steal your rushes away

How can you have a chicken without any bone?
How can there be a cherry without any stone?
How can there be a ring that rim without any rim?
How can there be a babe with no squalling?

Don't you go a-rushing, maids in May
Don't you go a-rushing, maids I say
For if you go a-rushing
They're sure to get you blushing
And steal your rushes away

When the chicken's in the egg it has no bone
When the cherry's blooming it has no stone
When the ring is melting it has no rim
When the babe's in the making there's no squalling

Don't you go a-rushing, maids in May
Don't you go a-rushing, maids I say
For if you go a-rushing
They're sure to get you blushing
And steal your rushes away
