I once loved a lass and I loved her so well And I hated all others who spoke of her ill And now she's rewarded me well for my love For she's gone and she's wed another And I saw my love up to the church go With bridesmen and bridesmaidens she made a fine show And I followed on with my heart full of woe For she's gone and she's wed another I saw my love as she sat down to dine I sat down beside her and poured the wine And I thought of the lassie that should have been mine Now she's gone and she's wed another All the men in yon forest they asked of me How many strawberries grow in a salt sea? And I answer them with a tear in my e'e How many ships sail in the forest? Oh dig me a grave and dig it sae deep And cover it over with wee flowers sae sweet And I lay me down for to take a long sleep And maybe in time I'll forget her So they dug him a grave and they dug it sae deep And they covered it over with wee flowers sae sweet And he lay him down for to take a long sleep And maybe in time he'll forget her
So beautiful it hurts
thank you Sandy !!!! you live forever
You won't beat that❤
this album reminds me of the beautiful folk music that I loved in the sixties. Sandy does this beautifully.
The most beautiful voice
I once loved a lass and I loved her so well
And I hated all others who spoke of her ill
And now she's rewarded me well for my love
For she's gone and she's wed another
And I saw my love up to the church go
With bridesmen and bridesmaidens she made a fine show
And I followed on with my heart full of woe
For she's gone and she's wed another
I saw my love as she sat down to dine
I sat down beside her and poured the wine
And I thought of the lassie that should have been mine
Now she's gone and she's wed another
All the men in yon forest they asked of me
How many strawberries grow in a salt sea?
And I answer them with a tear in my e'e
How many ships sail in the forest?
Oh dig me a grave and dig it sae deep
And cover it over with wee flowers sae sweet
And I lay me down for to take a long sleep
And maybe in time I'll forget her
So they dug him a grave and they dug it sae deep
And they covered it over with wee flowers sae sweet
And he lay him down for to take a long sleep
And maybe in time he'll forget her
Guitar tuning anyone?
