Green Grow the Rushes (live) Lyrics

There's not but care on every hand
In every hour that passes oh
What signifies the life of man
If it were not for the lassies oh
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
The worldly race may riches chase
And riches still may fly them oh
And though at last they catch them fast
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them oh
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
