Hares on the Mountain [Archangel Hill] Lyrics by Shirley Collins

Archangel Hill

0

Oh Sally, my dear
It's you I'd be kissing
Oh Sally, my dear
It's you I'd be kissing
She smiled and replied:
"You don't know what you're missing"
Oh Sally, my dear
I wish I could wed you
Oh Sally, my dear
I wish I could bed you
She smiled and replied:
"Then you'd I say I'd misled you"
If all you young men were hares on the mountain
If all you young men were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would take guns and go hunting?
If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
How many young girls would be beating the bushes?
If all you young men were fish in the water
If all you young men were fish in the water
How many young girls would undress and dive after?
If all you young men were rushes a-growing
If all you young men were rushes a-growing
How many young girls would take scythes and go mowing?
But the young men are given to frisking and fooling
Oh, the young men are given to frisking and fooling
I'll leave them alone and attend to my schooling
