I ainse loved a lass and I loved her sae well[00:00:25]
That I hate all others that spoke of her ill[00:00:35]
But now she's rewarded me ill for my love[00:00:46]
She's gone tae get wed tae another[00:00:57]
When I saw my love tae the kirk go[00:01:10]
Wi' bride and bridemaidens they made a fine show[00:01:11]
And I followed after may hear' filled wi' woe[00:01:21]
To see my love wed tae another[00:01:23]
When I saw my love sit doon tae dine[00:01:25]
I sat doon beside her and poured oot the wine[00:01:30]
And I drank tae the lassie that should'a been mine[00:01:34]
But she's gone tae be wed tae another[00:01:40]
The men of yon forest they ask it o' me[00:01:53]
How many strawberries grow in the salt sea[00:02:09]
I answer them back wi' a tear in ma e'e[00:02:20]
How many ships sail in the forest[00:02:29]
Go dig me a grave both long wide and deep[00:02:34]
And cover it over wi' florets sae sweet[00:03:19]
And I'll turn in for to take a long sleep[00:03:32]
And maybe in time I'll forget her[00:03:41]
And they dug him a grave both long wide and deep[00:03:45]
And they covered it over wi' florets sae sweet[00:04:02]
And he's turned in for to take a long sleep[00:04:07]
And maybe by now he's forgot her[00:04:11]
