Lyrics
Prickly thorn, but sweetly worn
Singing Li de li de li oh oh Well a li de li de li oh oh Li de li de li oh oh Well a li de li de li oh oh
Well the hills are pretty and rollin' But the thorn is sharp and swollen And the man plays a beautiful whistle But he wears a prickly thistle
Singing Li de li de li oh oh Well a li de li de li oh oh Li de li de li oh oh Well a li de li de li oh oh
The silver birches pierce through an icy fog Which covers the ground most daily And the angels which carry st. andrew high Are singing a tune most gaily
One sound can hold back a thousand hands When the pipe plays a tune forlorn And the thistle is a prickly flower Aye, but how it is sweetly worn
Singing Li de li de li oh oh Well a li de li de li oh oh Li de li de li oh oh Well a li de li de li oh oh
