Green Grow The Rashes, O lyrics
Song information
Artist: Andy M. Stewart Album: Songs Of Robert Burns
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
