| I once loved a lass I once love a lass and I loved her so weel I hated all others who spoke of her ill But now she’s rewarded me well for my love For she’s gaun to be wed to another. I saw my love to the church go With bridegroom and brides maidens she made afine show And I followed on with my heart fu’ o’ woe She was gaun tae be wed tae another I saw my love sit doon tae dine As I sat doon beside her I poured oot the wine I drank to the lassie that should o’ been mine Even though she’d been wed tae another. The men o’ the forest they askit o’ me How many strawberries grow in the salt sea I answered them a’ wi’ a tear in my ee How many ships sail in the forest? Dig me a grave and dig it sae deep And cover me over my head to my feet And I will lie doon and tak a lang sleep And maybe in time I’ll forget her |
