THE HEXAMSHIRE LASS
Traditional Music & Lyrics

Away with the buff and the blue!
Away with the cap and the feather!
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexamshire!

OVER THE SAYBE SYKE
AND OVER THE MOSS AND THE BIER!
I WANT TO SEE MY LASS WHO LIVES IN HEXAMSHIRE!

Her father loves her well
And her mother loves her better
I love the lass mesel' but man, I canna get her!

If only I could be
A-liein' there beside her
While I must bide here, my arms will be denied her!

Of this of mine,
Of this love I'm weary!
Sleep, I can't get none, for thinkin' of me deary!

My heart is like to break
And my bosom is on fire
So well I love this lass who lives in Hexamshire!

Her skin is soft as silk
And her hair is fine as silver
Her breasts are deep and cool, she'll warm when I get near her!

Away with the parson's shilling!
Away with the cap and the feather!
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexamshire!
