Green Grow The Rashes, O lyrics

Chor. - Green grow the rashes, O;
Green grow the rashes, O;
The sweetest hours that e er I spend,
Are spent amang the lasses, O.

There s nought but care on ev ry han ,
In ev ry hour that passes, O:
What signifies the life o man,
An twere na for the lasses, O.
Green grow, &c.

The war ly race may riches chase,
An riches still may fly them, O;
An tho at last they catch them fast,
Their hearts can ne er enjoy them, O.
Green grow, &c.

But gie me a cannie hour at e en,
My arms about my dearie, O;
An war ly cares, an war ly men,
May a gae tapsalteerie, O!
Green grow, &c.

For you sae douce, ye sneer at this;
Ye re nought but senseless asses, O:
The wisest man the warl e er saw,
He dearly lov d the lasses, O.
Green grow, &c.

Auld Nature swears, the lovely dears
Her noblest work she classes, O:
Her prentice han she try d on man,
An then she made the lasses, O.
Green grow, &c.
