green grow the rashes, o lyrics
[verse 1]
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

[chorus]
green grow the rashes, o;
green grow the rashes, o;
the sweetest hours that e’er i spend
are spent amang the lassies, o

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
green grow the rashes, o;
green grow the rashes, o;
the sweetest hours that e’er i spend
are spent amang the lassies, o

[verse 3]
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!
[chorus]
green grow the rashes, o;
green grow the rashes, o;
the sweetest hours that e’er i spend
are spent amang the lassies, o

[verse 4]
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

[chorus]
green grow the rashes, o;
green grow the rashes, o;
the sweetest hours that e’er i spend
are spent amang the lassies, o

[verse 5]
auld nature swears, the lovely dears
her n0blest work she classes, o:
her prentice han’ she try’d on man
an’ then she made the lasses, o

[chorus]
green grow the rashes, o;
green grow the rashes, o;
the sweetest hours that e’er i spend
are spent amang the lassies, o
