The Hexhamshire Lass
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Away with the buff and the blue, and away with the cap and feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire.
Over the Sabie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Her father loves her well, and her mother loves her better
I love the lass mesel' but, man, I cannot get her.
Over the Sabie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
If only I could be lying there beside her
While I must bide here, my arms will be denied her.
Over the Sabie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Of this love of mine, of this love I am weary
Sleep I can't get none for thinking of my dearie
Over the Sabie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
My heart is like to break, and my bosom is on fire
So well I love that lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Her skin is soft as silk and her hair is fine as silver
Her breasts are deep and cool, they'll warm when I get near her
Over the Sabie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Away with the parson's shilling and away with the cap and feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Over the Sabie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
