Subject: Lyr Add: CHERRY RIPE (Herrick/Horn)
Cherry Ripe - words by Robert Herrick (1591–1674) and music by Charles Edward Horn (1786–1849)
If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer there
Where my Julia's lips do smile,
There's the land or Cherry Isle.
(Chorus) Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry,
Full and fair ones, come and buy.
Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry,
Full and fair ones, come and buy
Where my Julia's lips do smile,
There's the land or Cherry Isle,
There plantations fully show
All the year where cherries grow.
(Chorus)
