Sir Neil and Glengyle, the Highland Chieftains: a Tragical Ballad/Cherry Ripe
CHERRY RIPE.
Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry; Full and fair ones come and buy. Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry; Full and fair ones come and buy.If so be you ask me whereThey do grow, I answer there,Where the sunbeams sweetly smile,There’s the land or cherry isle.Cherry ripe, &c.
Where the sunbeams sweetly smile,There’s the land or cherry isle.There plantations fully showAll the year where cherries grow. Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry, Full and fair ones come and buy, Full and fair ones come and buy.
FINIS.
