[Rhodes22-list] To the Immortal Memory

[Steven Alm]

"Green Grow the Rashes"

Green grow the rashes, O;
    Green grow the rashes, O;
The sweatest hour that e'er I spent
    Are spent amang the lasses, O;

There's not but care on ev'ry han',
    In ev'ry hour that passes, O;
What signifies the life of man,
    An 'twere na for the lasses, O;

For you sae douce, ye sneer at this;
    Ye're nought but senseless asses, O;
The wisest man the warl' saw,
    He dearly loved the lasses, O;

Auld nature swears, the lovely dears;
    Her noblest work she classes, O;
Her prentice han' she tried on man;
    An' then she made the lasses, O.

Robert Burns  1784
