Hares on the mountain is a traditional English folk song. Also known as, Blackbirds and Thrushes. I sing and play it on guitar using a couple of different fingerpicking patterns. Switching back and forth every verse. Lankum and Shirley Collins are probably best known for this song. I think all the kool kids on TikTok like this song as well which is always a bonus. I put a little extra Valhalla Super Massive reverb on this one to. Let us know if we added too much or if it needs more. We`re a little hard of hearing in one ear and can`t hear to good out the other. So any advise would be appreciated.

Hares on the mountain lyrics

Oh Sally my dear, it's you I'd be kissing
Oh Sally my dear, it's you I'd be kissing
She smiled and replied, you don't know what you're missing

Oh Sally my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh Sally my dear, I wish I could bed you
She smiled and replied, then you'd say I'd misled you

If all you young men were hares on the mountain
If all you young men were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would take guns and go hunting?

If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
How many young girls would go beating the bushes?

If all you young men wеre fish in the water
If all you young mеn were fish in the water
How many young girls would undress and dive after?

But the young men are given to frisking and fooling
Oh the young men are given to frisking and fooling
So I'll leave them alone and attend to my schooling
