Fairport Convention - The Hexhamshire Lass (2012)

[Verse 1]
Away with the buff and the blue, away with the cap and feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

[Chorus]
Off to the Sadie Syke, over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

[Verse 2]
Her father loves her well, her mother loves her dearer
I love them better than them both but man, I can't get near her

[Chorus]
Off to the Sadie Syke, over thе moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hеxhamshire

[Verse 3]
If only I could be lying there aside her
While I watched my dear my arms would be denied her

[Chorus]
Off to the Sadie Syke, over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

[Verse 4]
Her skin is like the silk and her hair is like the silver
Her breasts are deep but full, they'll fall when I get near her
[Chorus]
Off to the Sadie Syke, over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

[Verse 5]
Ah, this love of mine, of this love I am weary
Sleep I can't get none for thinking of my dearie

[Chorus]
Off to the Sadie Syke, over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

[Verse 6]
Away with the parson's shilling, away with the cap and feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

[Chorus]
Off to the Sadie Syke, over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Away with the buff and the blue and away with the cap and feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
[Chorus]
Off to the Sadie Syke, over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
