Green Grow the Rashes

There's nought but care on every han'
In every hour that passes, O
What signifies the life o' man,
An 'twere na for the lasses, O?
Green grow the rashes, O!
Green grow the rashes, O!
The sweetest hours that e'er I spend,
Are spent amang the lasses, O!
The warl'ly race may riches chase,
An' riches still may fly them, O
An' though at last they catch them fast,
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them, O
Gi'e me a canny hour at e'en,
My arms about my dearie, O,
An' warl'ly cares an' warl'ly men
May a' gae tapsalteerie, O!
For you sae douce, ye sneer at this,
Ye're nought but senseless asses, O;
The wisest man the warl' e'er saw,
He dearly loved the lasses, O
Auld Nature swears the lovely dears
Her noblest work she classes, O;
Her 'prentice han' she tried on man,
An' then she made the lasses, O

Barbara Allen

In Scarlet Town, where I was born,
There was a fair maid dwellin'
Made every youth cry well-a-day
Her name was Barbara Allen.
'Twas in the merry month of May
The green buds they were swellin',
Sweet William on his deathbed lay
For love of Barbara Allen.
"O mother, mother make my bed,
Make it long and narrow.
Sweet William died for love today,
I'll die for him tomorrow."
They buried her in the old church yard,
And him they laid beside her,
And from his grave grew a red, red rose,
From hers a cruel, cruel briar.
They grew and grew up the old church tower,
'Til they could grow no higher,
And there they twined in a true love knot,
The red, red rose and the briar.

O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rollin' river
O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
O Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rollin' river
For her I'd cross your roamin' water
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
I must away, love.
I shall no longer tarry.
This morning tempest
I have to cross.
I will be guided
Without a stumble
Into the arms
I love the best.
And when the long night
It was past and over,
And when the sma' clouds
Began to grow,
They've embraced, aye,
They've kissed and parted.
He's saddled and mounted
And away did go.
O Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rollin' river
O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Ae fond kiss

Ae fond kiss and then we sever;
Ae fareweel, and then for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me;
Dark despair around benights me.
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy,
Naething could resist my Nancy:
But to see her was to love her;
Love but her, and love for ever.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
Never met - or never parted,
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.
Fare-thee-weel, though first and fairest!
Fare-thee-weel, though best and dearest!
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure!
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae fareweel, alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
