The Lass of Richmond Hill
The Lass of Richmond Hill | |
Leonard McNally, ca. 1787
| On Richmond Hill there lives a lass More bright than May-day morn Whose charms all other maids' surpass A rose without a thorn. This lass so neat, with smiles so sweet Has won my right good will I'd crowns resign to call thee mine Sweet lass of Richmond Hill. Refrain: |: Sweet lass of Richmond Hill :| I'd crowns resign to call thee mine Sweet lass of Richmond Hill. |
2. Ye zephyrs gay that fan the air And wanton thro' the grove O whisper to my charming fair "I die for her I love." This lass so neat, with smiles so sweet Has won my right good will I'd crowns resign to call thee mine Sweet lass of Richmond Hill. Refrain: |
