C
 There's nought but care on ev'ry han', 
Dm                      
 In ev'ry hour that passes, O; 
F                   C       Am     
 What signifies the life o' man, 
Dm                     F
 An' 'twere na for the lasses, O. 

C
 Green grow the rashes, O; 
Dm                      
 Green grow the rashes, O; 
F                        C      Am
 The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, 
Dm                   F
 Are spent amang the lasses, O.


C
 The warly race may riches chase, 
Dm                      
 An' riches still may fly them, O; 
F                      C          Am
 An' tho' at last they catch them fast, 
Dm                      F          
 Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them, O. 

C

F                        C      Am
 The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, 
Dm                   F
 Are spent amang the lasses, O.


C
 But gie me a canny hour at e'en, 
Dm
 My arms about my Dearie, O; 
F                    C     Am
 An' warly cares an' warly men, 
Dm                F
 May a' gae tapsalteerie, O!

 The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, 
Dm                   F
 Are spent amang the lasses, O.


C
 For you sae douse, ye sneer at this, 
Dm
 Ye're nought but senseless asses, O; 
F                   C     Am
 The wisest Man the warl' saw, 
Dm                   F
 He dearly lov'd the lasses, O. 
 
C
 Green grow the rashes, O; 
Dm

 The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, 
Dm                   F
 Are spent amang the lasses, O.


C
 Auld Nature swears, the lovely Dears 
Dm
 Her noblest work she classes, O; 
F                      C        Am
 Her prentice han' she try'd on man, 
Dm                     F
 An' then she made the lasses, O. 

C
 Green grow the rashes, O; 
Dm
 Green grow the rashes, O; 
F                        C      Am
 The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, 
Dm                   F
 Are spent amang the lasses, O.
