Eddi Reader - Green Grow The Rashes O lyrics

There's nought but care on every hand In every hour that pa**es, o What signifies the worth of man And 'twas na for the la**es, o Green grow the rashes, o Green grow the rashes, o The sweetest hours that e'er I spent Were spent among the la**es, o The worldy race may riches chase And riches still may fly them, o When last they catch them fast Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them, o Green grow the rashes, o Green grow the rashes, o The sweetest hours that e'er I spent Were spent among the la**es, o But gie me a canny hour at e'en My arms about my dearie, o And worldly cares, and worldly men May all gae tapsalteerie, o For you sae douse, ye sneer at this You're nought but senseless a**es, o The wisest man the world e're saw He dearly loved the la**es, o Old nature swears, the lovely dears Her noblest work she cla**es, o Her prentice hand she tried on man And then she made the la**es, o Green grow the rashes, o Green grow the rashes, o The sweetest hours that e'er I spent Were spent among the la**es, o Green grow the rashes, o Green grow the rashes, o The sweetest hours that e'er I spent Were spent among the la**es, o De-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
