LyricMeaning

Green Grow the Rashes
Tempest

There's not much care on every hand

And every hour that passes-oh

What signifies the life of man

If it were not for the lasses-oh

Chorus:

Green grow the rashes-oh

Green grow the rashes-oh

The sweetest hours that 'ere I spent

I spent among the lasses-oh

The worldly man may riches, chase

And riches still may find them-oh

But when at last he'll catch them fast

His heart can ne'er enjoy them-oh

Chorus

Oh nature wears the loveliest wares

Her noblest work she classes-oh

Her practiced hand she tried on man

And then, she made the lasses-oh

Chorus

Instrumental Interlude (fiddle)

The down bed, the feather bed

The bed among the rashes-oh

The softest bed is ne'er so sweet as

The bellies of the lasses-oh

Chorus

Instrumental Interlude (guitar)

And so their hours, I am afraid

Are hard when I am tipsy-oh

But I'm a king in everything

When with a wanton gypsy-oh

Green grow the rashes-oh

Green grow the rashes-oh

I'm a king in everything

When with a wanton gypsy-oh

Chorus
