There's nought but care on ev'ry han'  
In every hour that passes O
 What signifies the life o' man
 An' 'twere na for the lasses O.

  Chorus Green grow the rashes, O;  Green grow the rashes, O;  The sweetest hours that e'er I spend,  Are spent among the lasses, O.

The war'ly race may riches chase
 An' riches still may fly them, O.
 An' tho' at last they catch them fast
 Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them O.

Gie me a cannie hour at e'en
 My arms about my dearie O
An' war'ly cares an' war'ly men  
May a' gae tapsalteerie, O.

  For you sae douce, ye sneer at this
 Ye're nought but senseless asses, O. 
The wisest man the warl' e'er saw
He dearly lov'd the lasses, O.

  Auld Nature swears, the lovely dears
 Her noblest work she classes, O.
 Her prentice han' she try'd on man
 An' then she made the lasses, O.
