I Loved a Lad
I ainse loved a lass and I loved her sae well that I hate all others that spoke of her ill; but now she's rewarded me ill for my love she's gone tae get wed tae another.
When I saw my love tae the kirk go wi' bride and bridemaidens they made a fine show, and I followed after, may hear' filled wi' woe, to see my love wed tae another.
When I saw my love sit doon tae dine I sat doon beside her and poured oot the wine and I drank tae the lassie that should'a been mine, but she's gone tae be wed tae another.
The men of yon forest, they ask it o' me Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'How many strawberries grow in the salt sea?' I answer them back wi' a tear in ma e'e 'How many ships sail in the forest?'
Go dig me a grave, both long, wide and deep and cover it over wi' florets sae sweet; and I'll turn in for to take a long sleep and maybe in time I'll forget her.
And they dug him a grave, both long, wide and deep and they covered it over wi' florets sae sweet; and he's turned in for to take a long sleep and maybe by now he's forgot her.
