I once loved a lass I loved her sae weel I hated all others who spoke of her ill But now she`s rewarded me well for my love For she`s gone to be wed to another
I saw my love to the church go With bridesgroom and bridesmaidens they made a fine show And I followed on with my heart full of woe She was gone to be wed to another
I saw my love sit down to dine As I sat down beside her I poured out the wine I drank to the lassie that should have been mine Even though she`d been wed to another
The men o` the forest They ask it o` me How many strawberries grow in the south sea? I answer them a` with a tear in my ee` How many ships sail in the forest
Dig me a grave Dig it sae deep And cover me over wi` flo`ers sae sweet And I will lay down and tak` a long sleep And maybe in time I`ll forget her
