    G            D             G
Away with the buff and the blue,
                   D           F
And away with the cap and the feather,
     G           D
And hey for the bonny lass too
  G   C             G      D  G
That lives in Hexhamshire.

  
C             G     D  G
Through by the Saiby Syke
    C         G            F
And over the moss and the mire,
    
    B   A  G
I'll go to see my lass
    
      G      D  G
Who lives in Hexhamshire.

Her father loved her well
Her mother loved her better,
I love the lass mysel'
But, alas! I cannot get her.

O, This love, this love
Of this love I'm weary,
Sleep I can get none
For thinking on my deary.

My heart is like to break
My bosom is on fire,
So well I love the lass
That lives in Hexhamshire.

Her petticoat is silk
And plated rond with siller,
Her shoes are tied with tape
She'll wait till I go till her.

Were I where I would be
I would be beside her;
But here a while I must be
Whatever may betide her.

Hey for the thick and the thin
Hey for the mud and the mire.
And hey for the bonny lass
That lives in Hexhamshire.
