Thread Name: ADD: Lass of Richmond Hill
Subject: LYR REQ:Lass of Richmond Hill
Our morris team has a dance by this name, and looking through my grandmothers' homestead in Vermont several years ago I found one verse in an old songbook. Are there any others?

In Richmondtown there lives a lass
As bright as a Mayday morn,
Whose charms no other may surpass,
A rose without a thorn.

This lass so neat, sweet and complete
Has stolen my right goodwill
I would crowns resign to call her mine,
The Lass of Richmond Hill

Cho: Oh the Lass of Richmond Hill
Oh the Lass of Richmond Hill
I'd crowns resign to call her mine,
The Lass of Richmond Hill

________ I've got the tune. Just need more words.

I hope that I have put in the line breaks correctly
