THE HEXAMSHIRE LASS
Traditional Music & Lyrics
Arrangement: Heather Alexander

Away with the buff and the blue!
Away with the cap and the feather!
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexamshire!

OVER THE SAYBE SYKE
AND OVER THE MOSS AND THE MYER!
I WANT TO SEE MY LASS WHO LIVES IN HEXAMSHIRE!

Her father loves her well
And her mother loves her better
I love the lass mesel' but man, I canna get her!

If only I could be
A-liein' there beside her
While I must bide here, my arms will be denied her!

Of this of mine,
Of this love I'm weary!
Sleep, I can't get none, for thinkin' of me deary!

My heart is like to break
And my bosom is on fire
So well I love that lass who lives in Hexamshire!

Her skin is soft as silk
And her hair is fine as silver
Her breasts are deep and cool, they'll warm when I get near her!

Away with the parson's shilling!
Away with the cap and the feather!
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexamshire!

Balance of Nature
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 23 fans who also own “A Gypsy's Home”

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler. Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt

Fav tracks, more like. Storyteller and Close Your Eyes. When things are darkest, I think of these songs, the tiny spark to keep things lit. I know that sounds campy, but it's true. Heather's and now Alex's music help with my clinical anxiety and depression, and I need all I can get. Lia Graf
