Away with the buff and the blue
And away with the cap and feather
Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

Her father loves her well, her mother loves her dearer
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire
I love them better than them both but, man, I can't get near her
If only I could be lying there aside her
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

While I must bide here, my arms'll be denied her
Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire
Her skin is like the silk and her hair is like the silver

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Her breasts are deep and cool, they'll warm when I get near her
Ah, this love of mine, oh, this love, I am weary
Sleep I can't get none for thinking of my dearie
Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire

I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Away with the 'gilded' shield and away with the cap and feather
Away with the buff and the blue
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

Away with the cap and feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Off with the . . . and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
