There's not but care on every hand
In every hour that passes oh
What signifies the life of man
If it were not for the lassies oh
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er i spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
The worldly race may riches chase
And riches still may fly them oh
And though at last they catch them fast
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them oh
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er i spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
The sweetest hours that e'er i spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er i spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
Old nature swears the lovley dears
Her noblest work she classes oh
Her apprentice hand she tried on man
Then she made the lassies oh
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er i spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er i spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
Are spent among the lassies oh
Há apenas o cuidado em cada mão
Em cada hora que passa oh
O que significa a vida do homem
Se não fosse pelas garotas oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
As mais doces horas que já passei
Passei entre as garotas oh
A corrida do mundo pode ser em busca de riquezas
E pode ser que elas os encontre
E embora eles possam pegá-las rapidamente
Seus corações podem nunca apreciá-las oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
As mais doces horas que já passei
Passei entre as garotas oh
O mais doce horas que já passei
Passei entre as garotas oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
As mais doces horas que já passei
Passei entre as garotas oh
Jura a velha natureza, queridos
Seu mais nobre trabalho, oh
Seu aprendizado foram os homens
Então ela fez as garotas oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
As mais doces horas que já passei
Passei entre as garotas oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
Verdes crescem os juncos oh
As mais doces horas que já passei
Passei entre as garotas oh
Passei entre as garotas oh
