ฟังเพลงI Loved a Lass

I Loved a Lass - Paul Murray

Oh I loved a lass

And I loved her so well

But I hated all others

Who of her spoke ill

But now she's rewarded me well

For my love

She's a gone to be wed to another

When I saw my love

To the church go

With bride and bride maidens

She made a fine show

I followed her on with a heart full of woe

She's a gone to be wed to another

When I saw my love sit down to dine

I sat down beside her

And I poured out the wine

I drank to the lassie

That should have been mine

She's a gone to be wed to another

And the men in the forest they asked of me

How many strawberries grow

In the salt sea

I answered them back

With a tear in my eye

How many ships sail in the forest

So dig me my grave and dig it why deep

And cover it over with flowers so sweet

And I'll turn in for to take a long sleep

And maybe in time I'll forget her
