Hares on the Mountain

If pretty maids could run like hares on the mountain
They would laugh for to see the young men run a-hunting

Chorus:
 Sing whack fol the diddle,
 Whack fol the diddle,
 Whack fol the diddle I do.


If pretty maids could fly like blackbirds and thrushes
They would laugh for to see the young men beat the bushes

Chorus:
 Sing whack fol the diddle,
 Whack fol the diddle,
 Whack fol the diddle I do.


If pretty maids could swim like ducks on the water
They would laugh for to see the young men wobbling after

Chorus:
 Sing whack fol the diddle,
 Whack fol the diddle,
 Whack fol the diddle I do.
