Lyrics Hares on the Mountain - John Smith

Sally my darling I wish I could wed you
Oh,Sally my darling I wish I could wed you
She smiled and replied
Then you'd say I misled you
If young girls could sing like Blackbird and thrushes
If young girls could sing like Blackbird and thrushes
How many young man would go beating the bushes
If all the young girls were hares on a mountain
If all the young girls were hares on a mountain
How many young men would take guns and go hunting
Oh Sally, oh Sally
It's you I'd be kissing
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 men were ducks on the water
If all the young men were ducks on the water
How many young girls would undress and dive after
If all the young men were hares on the mountain
If all the young men were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would take guns and do hunting
If all the young men were hares on the mountain
If all the young men were hares on the mountain
