hares on the mountain - traditional (in the style of shirley collins)

𝄆 Oh Sally, my dear, it's you I'd be kissing, 𝄇
She smiled and replied, you don't know what you're missing.

𝄆 Oh Sally, my dear, I wish I could wed you, 𝄇
She smiled and replied, then you'd say I'd misled you.

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

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

𝄆 If all you young men were fish in the water, 𝄇
How many young girls would undress and dive after?

But the young men are given to frisking and fooling,
Oh, the young men are given to frisking and fooling,
So I'll leave them alone and attend to my schooling

I know you don't respond to comments because you don't have much to say, and I watch your videos and want to comment, but don't really know what to say. You sing really pleasingly. I don't expect that'll change in your next video, or the next, though, and I'm not sure it won't sound silly to say it over and over again. Also, clearly, you hear it from a lot of people already. For now, I'll say it, and I may say it again, but if I don't it's not that I've stopped watching or thinking it.
