lyrics
There's nought but care on every hand
In every hour that passes o
What signifies the life of man
And 'twere na' for the lassies o
Green grow the rashes o
Green grow the rashes o
The sweetest hours that e'er I spend
Are spent among the lassies o
The worldly race may riches chase
And riches still may fly them o
And though at last they catch them fast
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them o
Gi'e me a cannie hour at e'en,
My arms about my dearie o
And worldly cares and worldly men
May a' gae tapsalteerie o
Green grow the rashes o
Green grow the rashes o
The sweetest hours that e'er I spend
Are spent among the lassies o
You sae douce ye sneer at this
Ye're nought but senseless asses o
The wisest man the world e'er saw
He dearly loved the lasses o
Auld Nature swears the lovely dears
Her noblest work she classes o
Her prentice hand she tried on man
And then she made the lasses
She made the lassies
Green grow the rashes
Green grow the rashes o
Green grow the rashes o
The sweetest hours that e'er I spend
Are spent among the lassies
Green grow the rashes
In every hour that passes o
What signifies the life of man
And 'twere na' for the lassies o
Green grow the rashes o
Green grow the rashes o
The sweetest hours that e'er I spend
Are spent among the lassies o
The worldly race may riches chase
And riches still may fly them o
And though at last they catch them fast
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them o
Gi'e me a cannie hour at e'en,
My arms about my dearie o
And worldly cares and worldly men
May a' gae tapsalteerie o
Green grow the rashes o
Green grow the rashes o
The sweetest hours that e'er I spend
Are spent among the lassies o
You sae douce ye sneer at this
Ye're nought but senseless asses o
The wisest man the world e'er saw
He dearly loved the lasses o
Auld Nature swears the lovely dears
Her noblest work she classes o
Her prentice hand she tried on man
And then she made the lasses
She made the lassies
Green grow the rashes
Green grow the rashes o
Green grow the rashes o
The sweetest hours that e'er I spend
Are spent among the lassies
Green grow the rashes
