Hares on the Mountain

Young women they run like hares on the mountain
Young women they run like hares on the mountain
If I were but a young man I'd soon go a-huntin'
     To my right fol-diddle dero
     To my right fol-diddle dee.

Young women they sing like birds in the bushes (2x)
If I were but a young man I'd go bang them bushes.

Young women they swim like ducks in the water (2x)
If I were but a young man I soon would swim after.

Young women they bloom like laurel in springtime (2x)
If I were but a young man I'd soon go and pluck some.

Recorded, once, by Andrew Rowan Summers; Steeleye Span on
  Parcel of Rogues
Collected by Cecil Sharp.
