|
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 |
