[Intro]
G
[Verse]
I once loved a lass
C
I loved her sae weel
G C
I hated all others who spoke of her ill
G C
But now she's rewarded me well for my love
G D Em
For she's gone to be wed to another
[Verse]
G C
I saw my love to the church go
G C
With bridesgroom and bridesmaidens they made a fine show
G C
And I followed on with my heart full of woe
G D Em
She was gone to be wed to another
[Verse]
G C
I saw my love sit down to dine
G C
As I sat down beside her I poured out the wine
G C
I drank to the lassie that should have been mine
G D Em
Even though she'd been wed to another
[Verse]
G
The men o' the forest
C
They ask it o' me
G C
How many strawberries grow in the south sea?
G C
I answer them a' with a tear in my ee'
G D Em
How many ships sail in the forest
[Verse 5]
G
Dig me a grave
C
Dig it sae deep
G C
And cover me over wi' flo'ers sae sweet
G C
And I will lay down and tak' a long sleep
G D Em
And maybe in time I'll forget her
