Sweet Lass of Richmond Hill

On Richmond Hill there lives a lass

More bright than May-day morn

Whose charms all other maids' surpass

A rose without a thorn.

This lass so neat, with smiles so sweet

Has won my right good will

I'd crowns resign to call thee mine

Sweet lass of Richmond Hill.

Sweet lass of Richmond Hill

Sweet lass of Richmond Hill

I'd crowns resign to call thee mine

Sweet lass of Richmond Hill.

Ye zephyrs gay that fan the air

And wanton thro' the grove

O whisper to my charming fair

"I die for her I love."

This lass so neat, with smiles so sweet

Has won my right good will

I'd crowns resign to call thee mine

Sweet lass of Richmond Hill.
