Hares on the Mountain

Oh, Sally, Oh Sally, it's you I'd be kissing
Oh, Sally, Oh, Sally, it's you, I'd be kissing
She smiled and replied, You don't know what you've been missing
She smiled and replied, You don't know what you've been missing

Oh, Sally, Oh, Sally, how I wish I could wed you!
Oh, Sally, Oh, Sally, how I wish I could bed you
She smiled and replied, just don't say I've misled you
She smiled and replied, just don't say I've misled you

If you weren't a boy but a hare on the mountain
If you weren't a girl but a hare on the mountain
I'd take all my arrows, and I would go hunting
I'd take all my arrows, and I would go hunting!

If you weren't a man but a fish in the water
If you weren't a lady but fish in the water
I'd take off my garments, and I would dive after
I'd take off my garments, and I would dive after!

If you weren't a lad but a blackbird or thrushes
If you weren't a lass but a blackbird a-singing
I'd build us a nest to forever hear that singing
I'd build us a nest to forever be mingling

Oh, Sally, Oh, Sally, how I wish I could wed you.
Oh, Sally, my dear, how I wish I could wed you!
She smiled and replied, well, then good, I will have you
She smiled and replied, well, then good, I will have you
