I Once Loved A Lass

G

I once loved a lass
                C
I loved her sae weel
  G                    C
I hated all others who spoke of her ill
    G                                 C
But now she's rewarded me well for my love
          G          D       Em
For she's gone to be wed to another

  G                         C
I saw my love to the church go
     G                                  C
With bridesgroom and bridesmaidens they made a fine show
      G                                 C
And I followed on with my heart full of woe
        G          D       Em
She was gone to be wed to another

  G                       C
I saw my love sit down to dine
     G                     C
As I sat down beside her I poured out the wine
  G                                         C
I drank to the lassie that should have been mine
     G                 D       Em
Even though she'd been wed to another

    G
The men o' the forest
               C
They ask it o' me
    G                      C
How many strawberries grow in the south sea?
  G                                C
I answer them a' with a tear in my ee'
    G          D           Em
How many ships sail in the forest

G
Dig me a grave
           C
Dig it sae deep
    G             C
And cover me over wi' flo'ers sae sweet
           G                        C
And I will lay down and tak' a long sleep
    G             D       Em
And maybe in time I'll forget her
