Lyrics

[Verse 1] Away with the buff and the blue and away with the cap and feather I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Chorus] Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Verse 2] Her father loves her well, her mother loves her dearer I love them better than them both but man, I can't get near her [Chorus] Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Verse 3] If only I could be lying there aside her While I watched my dear my arms would be denied her [Chorus] Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Verse 4] Her skin is like the silk and her hair is like the silver Her breasts are deep but full, they'll fall when I get near her [Chorus] Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Verse 5] Ah, this love of mine, oh, this love, I am weary Sleep I can't get none for thinking of my dearie [Chorus] Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Verse 6] Away with the parson's shilling and away with the cap and feather I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Chorus] Off to the Sadie Syke, over the moss and the mire I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1] Away with the buff and the blue, away with the cap and feather I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire [Chorus] Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
