On Richmond Hill there lives a lass more bright than a May-day morn
Whose charms all others 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
verse 2
Ye zephyrs gay that fan the air and wonton through the grove
Oh 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
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill
I'd crowns resign to call thee mine
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill
verse 3
How happy will the shepherd be who calls this nymph his own
Oh may her choice be fix'd on me mine's fixed on her alone
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
Repeat
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill
I'd crowns resign to call thee mine
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill
