Hares On the Mountain
Young women they run like hares on the mountain
Young women they run like hares on the mountain
If I were but a young man I'd soon go a-huntin'
To my right fol-diddle dero
To my right fol-diddle dee.
Young women they sing like birds in the bushes (2x)
If I were but a young man I'd go bang them bushes.
Young women they swim like ducks in the water (2x)
If I were but a young man I soon would swim after.
Young women they bloom like laurel in springtime (2x)
If I were but a young man I'd soon go and pluck some.
