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
