Green Grows the Rashes

(tradeetional)

Green grows the rashes-O,
Green grows the rashes-O:
       The feather-bed is no sae saft
     As a bed amang the rashes-O.

We're aw dry wi drinkin o't,
We're aw dry wi drinkin o't;
       The parson kissed the fiddler's wife,
     An he coudna preach for thinkin o't.

Green grows the rashes-O,
Green grows the rashes-O:
       The feather-bed is no sae saft
     As a bed amang the rashes-O.

The doun-bed, the feather-bed,
The bed amang the rashes-O;
       Yet aw the beds is no sae saft
     As the bellies o the lassies-O.
