 There's nought but care on ev'ry han',
 In ev'ry hour that passes, O;
 What signifies the life  o' man,
 An' 'twere na for the lasses,  O.
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 The sweetest hours that e'er  I spend,
 Are spent amang the lasses,  O.
 The warly race may riches chase,
 An' riches still may fly them, O;
 An' tho' at last they catch  them fast,
 Their hearts can ne'er enjoy  them, O.
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 The sweetest hours that e'er  I spend,
 Are spent amang the lasses,  O.
 But gie me a canny hour at e'en,
 My arms about my Dearie, O;
 An' warly cares an' warly men,
 May a' gae tapsalteerie,  O!
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 The sweetest hours that e'er  I spend,
 Are spent amang the lasses,  O.
 For you sae douse, ye sneer at this,
 Ye're nought but senseless asses, O;
 The wisest Man the warl' saw,
 He dearly lov'd the lasses,  O.
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 The sweetest hours that e'er  I spend,
 Are spent amang the lasses,  O.
 Auld Nature swears, the lovely Dears
 Her noblest work she classes, O;
 Her prentice han' she try'd  on man,
 An' then she made the lasses,  O.
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 Green grow the rashes, O;
 The sweetest hours that e'er  I spend,
 Are spent amang the lasses,  O.
