[D] x4
[D] I once loved a lass and I loved her sae [G] wee-[D]eel
[D] I hated all others who [C] spoke o' her [A] ill
But [D] now she's re-[G]warded me [D] well for my love
for she's [C] gone tae be [G] wed tae a-[D]nother.
[D] When I saw my love tae the church [G] goo-[D]oo,
[D] With bride and bridemaidens [C] they made a fine [A] show,
[D] And I follaed on [G] wi' a heart full o' [D] woe,
For she's [C] gone tae be [G] wed to a-[D]nother.
[D] I saw my love sit down to [G] di-[D]ine,
[D] As I sat doon beside her I [C] poured out the [A] wine,
I [D] drank tae the [G] lassie that [D] should hae been mine,
Even [C] tho she'd been [G] wed tae a-[D]nother.
[D] The men o' yon forest, they askit [G] o' [D] me,
[D] Hoo many strawberries [C] grew in the saut [A] sea,
[D] But I askit them back [G] wi' a tear in my [D] e'e,
Hoo [C] many ships [G] sail in the fo-[D]rest?
[D] Oh, dig me a grave and dig it [G] sae [D] deep,
[D] And cover it o'er wi' [C] floo'ers sae [A] sweet,
And [D] I will lie doon and [G] I'll tak a lang [D] sleep,
And [C] maybe in [G] time, I'll for-[D]get her. [D]
