Green Grow the Rushes On - Cherish The Ladies

There’s no but care on every hand

In every hour that passes oh

That signifies the life of man

And twere not for the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh

Green grow the rushes oh

The sweetest hours that e’re I spent

Were spent among the lassies oh

The wordly race may riches chase

And riches still may fly them oh

And when at last they catch them fast

Their hearts can ne’er enjoy them oh

Green grow the rushes oh

Green grow the rushes oh

The sweetest hours that e’re I spent

Were spent among the lassies oh

Give me a quiet hour at e’en

My arms around my dearie oh

And warly cares and warly men

May a gae topsy-turvy oh

Green grow the rushes oh

Green grow the rushes oh

The sweetest hours that e’re I spent

Were spent among the lassies oh

For you so grave you sneer at this

You’re no but senseless asses oh

The wisest man the world e’er saw

Dearly loved the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh

Green grow the rushes oh

The sweetest hours that e’re I spent

Were spent among the lassies oh
