I Loved A Lass (Live)

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 bride and brides maidens 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 doon to dine

I sat doon 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

And the men in the forest they asked of mehow many strawberries grow in the salt sea

And I answered them with a tear in my eyehow many ships sail in the forest
