Hexamshire Lass |
| Away with the buff and the blue |
| And away with the cap and feather |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
| Off with the. |
| .. and over the moss and the mire |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
| Her father loves her well, her mother loves her dearer |
| I love them better than them both but, man, I can’t get near her |
| Off with the. |
| .. and over the moss and the mire |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
| If only I could be lying there aside her |
| While I must bide here, my arms’ll be denied her |
| Off with the. |
| .. and over the moss and the mire |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
| Her skin is like the silk and her hair is like the silver |
| Her breasts are deep and cool, they’ll warm when I get near her |
| Off with the. |
| .. and over the moss and the mire |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
| Ah, this love of mine, oh, this love, I am weary |
| Sleep I can’t get none for thinking of my dearie |
| Off with the. |
| .. and over the moss and the mire |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
| Away with the? |
| gilded? |
| shield and away with the cap and feather |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
| Away with the buff and the blue |
| Away with the cap and feather |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
| Off with the. |
| .. and over the moss and the mire |
| I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire |
