[Lyric] Hares on the Mountain (Isobel anderson)

Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
How I wish
I could wed you

Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
How I wish
I could wed you

She smiled and replied
‘Then you'd say
I misled you.’

If all girls could sing like
Like birds and thrushes

If all girls could sing like
Like birds and thrushes

Then all the young men
Would go beating the bushes
If all the young girls were
Hare on the mountain
If all the young girls were
Hare on the mountain

All the young boys would get guns
And go hunting

Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
It's you I'd be kissing

Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
It’s you I'd be kissing

She smiled and replied
‘You don't know
What you're missing.'

If all the young boys were
Ducks on the water

If all the young boys were
Ducks on the water

Then all the young girls would undress
And dive under
If all the young men were
Hare on the mountain
If all the young men were
Hare on the mountain

All the young girls would get guns
And go hunting

[Interlude]

Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
How I wish
I could wed you
