lyrics

Oh Sally my dear it’s you I’d be missing
Sally my dear it’s you I’d be kissing
She smiled and replied ‘there’s just one thing you’re missing’

Sally my dear I wish I could wed you
Sally my dear I wish I could bed you
She smiled and replied ‘then you’d say I’d miss led you’

If all the young boys were hares on the mountain
If all the young boys were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would grab guns and go hunting?

If all the young boys were fish in the river
If all the young boys were fish in the river
How many young girls would undress and dive after?

If all the young boys sang like blackbirds and thrushes
If all the young boys sang like blackbirds and thrushes
How many young boys would grab sticks and bash bushes?

All the young boys are fussing and fooling
All the young boys are fussing and fooling
So I will stay home and stick to my schooling
So I will stay home and stick to my schooling
