I Once Loved A Lass by Shannon
I Once Loved A Lass lyrics
I once loved a lass and 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 gaun tae be wed tae another.
I saw my love to the church go,
Wi� bride groom and bride�s maidens, they made a fine
show,
And I followed on wi� my heart full of woe,
She was goin� tae be wed tae another.
I saw my love sit doon tae dine,
As I sat doon beside her I poured oot the wine.
I drank tae the lassie that should have been mine,
Even though she�d been wed tae another.
The men o� the forest they askit o� me,
How many strawberries grow in the salt sea?
I answered them all wi� a tear in my e�e
How many ships sail in the forest?
Dig me a grave and dig it sae deep,
And cover me over my head tae my feet,
And I will lie doon and I�ll tak a lang sleep,
And maybe in time I�ll forget her.
