Hares on the mountains: If all those young men
I. Holst
If all those young men were as rushes a-growing,
Then all those pretty maidens will get scythes go mowing;
With rifoldedee, Cal all the day, Rifolidee.
If all those young men were as hares on the mountains,
Then all those pretty maidens will get guns go hunting;
With rifoldedee, Cal all the day, Rifolidee.
If all those young men were as ducks in the water,
Then all those pretty maidens would soon follow after:
With rifoldedee, Cal all the day, Rifolidee.
