The Hexhamshire Lass Lyrics - The Airing Cupboard Tapes 71-74 - Fairport Convention

Away with the buff and the blue 

And away with the cap and feather 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire 

Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire 

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 

Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire 

If only I could be lying there aside her 

While I must bide here, my arms'll be denied her 

Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire 

Her skin is like the silk and her hair is like the silver 

Her breasts are deep and cool, they'll warm when I get near her 

Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire 

Ah, this love of mine, oh, this love, I am weary 

Sleep I can't get none for thinking of my dearie 

Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire 

Away with the ?gilded? shield and away with the cap and feather 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire 

Away with the buff and the blue 

Away with the cap and feather 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire 

Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire 

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
