On Cessnock
G

Could I describe her shape and mean?
G
C
Her lassie's all she fair excels,
G
C

She's sweeter than

When rising Phoebus first is seen,
G
C
When dew drops twinkle o 'er the lawn,
D
G
And she has twa sparklin' roggy sheen.
C
G
C
She's stately like yon youthful ash,
D

That grows the cowslips braze at ween,

And drinks the stream with vigour fresh,

Her looks are like the vernal May
G

When evening fever shines serene
G

While birds rejoice on every spray
Em
D
G
And she has twice butlin' roggy sheen
G
C
That climbs the mountainside a -teem

When four reviving rains are past

Her forehead's like the

And gild the distant mountains brow,
D

The pride o 'er the flurry scene,

Just openin' on its thorny stem,

And she has twa sparkling roguish sheen.

When pale the morning rises keen

While mid the murmuring streamlets flow

And she has twa sparkling roggy sheen
G

Which sunny walls fray bore your screen

They tempt the taste an

Her voice is like the evening thrush,
That sings on Cessnock's

Though much in beauty's fabled queen,
Em
D
C
Is the mind that shines in every grace,
D
C
D
And chiefly in her roguish heme.
