oysterband - i once loved a lass lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i once loved a lass and i loved her so well
that i hated all others who spoke of her ill
and now she’s rewarded me well for my love
for she’s gone to be wed to another

[verse 2]
when the day came to the church she did go
and the bride and the bridesmaids they made a fine show
and i followed after with my heart full of woe
to see her get wed to another

[verse 3]
the parson that married thеm, aloud he did cry
“all you that forbid it, i’d have you stand by”
and i thought to myself, “i’vе a good reason why”
but i had not the heart to forbid it

[verse 4]
so dig me a grave and dig it so deep
and cover it over with flowers so sweet
that i might lie down there and take a long sleep
and maybe in time i’ll forget her

[verse 5]
the men of the forest, they ask it of me
how many strawberries grow in the salt sea?
i answer them back with a tear in my eye
how many ships sail in the forest?
how many ships sail?
