Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hares on the Mountain (Hall, Macgregor)
Subject: Lyr Add: HARES ON THE MOUNTAIN (Hall/MacGregor?)
The words I have are these:
HARES ON THE MOUNTAIN
Young women they run like hares on the mountain.
Young women they run like hares on the mountain,
And if I was a young man, I'd soon go a-huntin'.
To me right-fal-a-diddle-dare-oh, right-fal-a-diddle-day.
Young women they sing like birds in the bushes.
Young women they sing like birds in the bushes,
And if I was a young man, I'd go beat those bushes.
To me right-fal-a-diddle-dare-oh, right-fal-a-diddle-day.
Young women they swim like ducks in the water,
Young women they swim like ducks in the water,
And if I was a young man, I'd soon go swim after.
To me right-fal-a-diddle-dare-oh, right-fal-a-diddle-day.
(Repeat first verse.)
I'm pretty sure those came from Robin Hall and Jimmie MacGregor. I have a cassette tape or two by them, but I can't locate either just now.
