The Lass of Richmond Hill
By Leonard McNally (1752-1820)
[Verse 1]
On Richmond Hill there lives a lass
More bright than May-day morn,
Whose charms all other maids' surpass
A rose without a thorn.
[Refrain]
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,
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill,
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill,
I'd crowns resign to call thee mine,
Sweet lass of The Lass of Richmond Hill.
[Further verses]
Ye zephyrs gay that fan the air
And wanton thro' the grove,
O whisper to my charming fair,
"I die for her I love."
How happy will the shepherd be,
Who calls this nymph his own,
O may her choice be fixed on me,
Mine’s fixed on her alone.
