Shirley Collins - Hares on the Mountain lyrics



If all you young men were hares on the mountain,
How many young girls would take guns and go hunting?
With a ri-fol-de-di, cal-ol-de-day, ri-fol-ai-de
If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes,
How many young girls would go beating the bushes?
With a ri-fol-de-di, cal-ol-de-day, ri-fol-ai-de
If all you young men were rushes a-going,
How many young girls would take size and go mowing?
With a ri-fol-de-di, cal-ol-de-day, ri-fol-ai-de
If all you young men were ducks in the water,
How many young girls would undress and dive after?
With a ri-fol-de-di, cal-ol-de-day, ri-fol-ai-de
But the young men are given to frisking and fooling,
I'll leave them alone and attend to my schooling
With a ri-fol-de-di, cal-ol-de-day, ri-fol-ai-de
