I AINSE LOVED A LASS



I ainse loved a lass and I loved her sae well

That I hate all others that spoke of her ill

But now she's rewarded me ill for my love

She's gone tae get wed tae another



When I saw my love tae the kirk go

Wi bride and bridemaidens they made a fine show

And I followed after, my heart filled wi woe

To see my love wed tae another



When I saw my love sit doon tae dine

I sat doon beside her and poured oot the wine

And I drank tae the lassie that shoulda been mine

But she's gone tae be wed tae another



The men of yon forest, they ask it o' me

How many strawberries grow in the salt sea

I answer them back wi a tear in ma e'e

How many ships sail in the forest



Go dig me a grave, both long, wide and deep

And cover it over wi florets sae sweet

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

And maybe in time I'll forget her



And they dug him a grave, both long, wide and deep

And they covered it over wi florets sae sweet

And he's turned in for to take a long sleep

And maybe by now he's forgot her
