Lyrics
THE HEXAMSHIRE LASS
Away with the buff and the blue
And away wlth the cap and the feather
I want to see my lass
Who lives in Hexamshire
CHORUS:
Over the Sabie Syre and over the moss and the bire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexamshire
Her father loves her well
Her mother loves her dearer
I love her better than the both
But man, I can't get near her
CHORUS
If only I could be
Lying there aside her
While I must bide here
My arms will be denied her
CHORUS
Her skin is like the silk
And her hair is like the silver
Her breasts are deep and cool
They'll warm when I get near her
CHORUS
Ah this love of mine
Of this love I am weary
Sleep I can't get none
For thinking of me dearie
CHORUS
Away the binding shllling
Away with the cap and the feather
I want to see my iass
Who lives in Hexamshire
CHORUS
