Hares On The Mountain
[Verse 1]
Oh Sally my dear, it's you I'd be kissin'
Oh Sally my dear, it's you I'd be kissin'
She smiled and replied, "you don't know what you're missin'"
Fall the geed laido whack fall da rey[?]

[Verse 2]
Oh Sally my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh Sally my dear, I wish I could bed you
She smiled and replied, "then you'd say I misled you"
Fall the geed laido whack fall da rey[?]

[Verse 3]
If the young men could sing like blackbirds, like thrushes
If the young men could sing like blackbirds, like thrushes
How many young girls would go beating the bushes?
Fall the geed laido whack fall da rey[?]

[Verse 4]
If all you young men were fish in the watеr
If all you young men were fish in thе water
How many young girls would undress and dive after?
Fall the geed laido whack fall da rey[?]

[Verse 5]
If all you young men were hares on the mountain
If all you young men were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would take guns and go hunting?
Fal the geed laido wak fal da rey[?]
[Verse 6]
But the young men are given to frisking and fooling
But the young men are given to frisking and fooling
So I'll leave them alone and attend to my schooling
And sing "fall the geed laido whack fall da rey[?]"
And sing "fall the geed laido whack fall da rey[?]"
