Green Grow The Rushes |
| There’s naught but care on every hand |
| In every hour that passes oh |
| What signifies the life of man |
| If it were not for the lassies oh |
| Chorus (after each verse): |
| Green grow the rushes oh |
| Green grow the rushes oh |
| The sweetest hours that ever I spent |
| Are spent among the lassies oh |
| The worldly race may riches chase |
| And riches still may fly them oh |
| And though at last they catch them fast |
| Their hearts can ne’er enjoy them oh |
| Give me a cannie hour at e’en |
| My arms around my dearie oh |
| The wisest man the world e’er saw |
| He dearly loved the lassies oh |
| Old nature swears the lovely dears |
| Her noblest work she classes oh |
| Her apprentice hand she tried on man |
| Then she made the lassies oh |
| Green grow the rushes |
| Green grow the rushes |
