Sandy Denny - The Hexhamshire Lass Lyrics
Away with the buff and the blue, and away with the cap and feather;I want to see my lass who lives in hexhamshire.ChorusOff to the sadie skey and over the moss and the mireI want to see my lass who lives in hexhamshireHer father loves her well, her mother loves her dearer;I love her better than them both but, man, I cant get near her.(chorus)If only I could be lying there aside herWhile I watched my dear my arms would be denied her.(chorus)Her skin is like the silk and her hair is like the silverHer breast are deep but full, theyll fall when I get near her(chorus)Of this love of mine, of this love I am weary;Sleep I cant get none for thinking of my dearie(chorus)Away with the parsons shilling and away with the cap and featherI want to see my lass who lives in hexhamshire(chorus)(4 instrumental verses)(repeat first verse.)
