Hares on the Mountain - Shirley Collins

If all you young men were hares on the mountain

How many young girls would take guns and go hunting

With a ri fol de di

Cal ol de day ri fol ai de

If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes

How many young girls would go beating the bushes

With a ri fol de di

Cal ol de day ri fol ai de

If all you young men were rushes a going

How many young girls would take size and go mowing

With a ri fol de di

Cal ol de day ri fol ai de

If all you young men were ducks in the water

How many young girls would undress and dive after

With a ri fol de di

Cal ol de day ri fol ai de

But the young men are given to frisking and fooling

I'll leave them alone and attend to my schooling

With a ri fol de di

Cal ol de day ri fol ai de
