The Corries - I Once Loved слова песни
I once loved a lassI loved her sae weelI hated all others who spoke of her illBut now she`s rewarded me well for my loveFor she`s gone to be wed to anotherI saw my love to the church goWith bridesgroom and bridesmaidens they made a fine showAnd I followed on with my heart full of woeShe was gone to be wed to anotherI saw my love sit down to dineAs I sat down beside her I poured out the wineI drank to the lassie that should have been mineEven though she`d been wed to anotherThe men o` the forestThey ask it o` meHow many strawberries grow in the south sea?I answer them a` with a tear in my ee`How many ships sail in the forestDig me a graveDig it sae deepAnd cover me over wi` flo`ers sae sweetAnd I will lay down and tak` a long sleepAnd maybe in time I`ll forget her
