hedging song - the melrose quartet lyrics

Loading...

1.i’d sooner go hedging than build a stone wall

all pick up and place it and hope it don’t fall

when the east wind blows bitter and keen through the trees

i’d sooner lay blackth*rn than dry wall and freeze

i’d sooner lay blackth*rn, sooner lay blackth*rn

sooner lay blackth*rn all the rest of my days

2.i’d sooner go hedging, the best thing i know

for anger and anguish and woman made woe

no matter how hurt or insulted i feel

a tussle with blackth*rn will help it to heal

3.i’d sooner go hedging than read in a book

for the more you get thinking the darker things look
since study and weeping are hard on the eyes

i’d soonеr lay blackth*rn than learn to be wise

4.i’d soonеr go hedging than seek all my days

for wealth or position or other men’s praise

plain billhook and axe are the tools of my trade

six shillings a chain is the rate i am paid

5.i’d sooner go hedging but come the next spring

i’ll be up and be gone like a bird on the wing

and all i shall miss when i reach my new home

will be hedges to slash at and blackth*rn in bloom
