Green grow the rushes

Traditional
There�s naught but care on every hand In ever hour that passes, O What signifies the life of man If it were not for the lassies, O Chorus Green grow the rushes, O Green grow the rushes, O The sweetest hours that e�er I spent 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 Chorus Give me a cannie hour at e�en My arms around me dearie, O The wisest man the world e�er saw He dearly loved the lassies, O Chorus Old nature swears the lovely dears Her noblest work she classes, O Her apprentice hand she tried on man And then she made the lassies, O Chorus Green grow the rushes Green grow the rushes This page has been viewed 11326 times

There�s naught but care on every hand
In ever hour that passes, O
What signifies the life of man
If it were not for the lassies, O

Chorus
Green grow the rushes, O
Green grow the rushes, O
The sweetest hours that e�er I spent
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

Chorus

Give me a cannie hour at e�en
My arms around me dearie, O
The wisest man the world e�er saw
He dearly loved the lassies, O

Chorus

Old nature swears the lovely dears
Her noblest work she classes, O
Her apprentice hand she tried on man
And then she made the lassies, O

Chorus
Green grow the rushes
Green grow the rushes
