Traditional
Hares on the Mountain
Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
How I wish
I could wed you
Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
How I wish
I could wed you
She smiled and replied
‘Then you'd say
I misled you.’
If all girls could sing like
Like birds and thrushes
If all girls could sing like
Like birds and thrushes
Then all the young men
Would go beating the bushes
If all the young girls were
Hare on the mountain
If all the young girls were
Hare on the mountain
All the young boys would get guns
And go hunting
Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
It's you I'd be kissing
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 boys were
Ducks on the water
If all the young boys were
Ducks on the water
Then all the young girls would undress
And dive under
If all the young men were
Hare on the mountain
If all the young men were
Hare on the mountain
All the young girls would get guns
And go hunting
[Interlude]
Oh, Sally, oh, Sally
How I wish
I could wed you
