[00:10.63]There's naught but care on every hand
[00:15.46]In every hour that passes oh
[00:20.45]What signifies the life of man
[00:25.56]If it were not for the lassies oh

[00:40.88]The sweetest hours that ever I spent
[00:45.96]Are spent among the lassies oh
[00:53.86]The worldly race may riches chase
[00:58.74]And riches still may fly them oh
[01:03.59]And though at last they catch them fast
[01:09.14]Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them oh
[01:15.66]Green grow the rushes oh
[01:19.70]Green grow the rushes oh
[01:24.69]The sweetest hours that ever I spent
[01:29.78]Are spent among the lassies oh
[01:37.89]Give me a cannie hour at e'en
[01:42.75]My arms around my dearie oh
[01:47.52]The wisest man the world e'er saw
[01:52.90]He dearly loved the lassies oh
[01:58.23]Green grow the rushes oh
[02:03.50]Green grow the rushes oh
[02:08.58]The sweetest hours that ever I spent
[02:13.71]Are spent among the lassies oh
[02:41.94]Old nature swears the lovely dears
[02:47.01]Her noblest work she classes oh
[02:51.89]Her apprentice hand she tried on man
[02:57.07]Then she made the lassies oh
[03:02.38]Green grow the rushes oh
[03:07.48]Green grow the rushes oh
[03:12.53]The sweetest hours that ever I spent
[03:17.59]Are spent among the lassies oh
[03:22.82]Green grow the rushes
[03:27.83]Green grow the rushes
