John Smith - Hares on the Mountain Lyrics

Sally my darling
I wish I could wed you
She smiled and replied
""Then you'd say I misled you""

If young girls could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
How many young men would go beating the bushes?

If all the young girls were hares on a mountain
How many young men would take guns and go hunting?

Oh Sally oh Sally
It's you I'd be kissing
She smiled and replied
""You don't know what you're missing""

If all the young men were ducks on the water
How many young girls would undress and dive after?

If all the young men were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would take guns and go hunting?

If all the young men were hares on the mountain...
