sandy denny - the false bride lyrics

Loading...

i once loved a l-ss 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 bridesmen and bridesmaidens 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 down to dine.
i sat down beside her and poured the wine.
and i thought of the l-ssie that should have been mine,
i thought her sweet company better than meat
now she’s gone and she’s wed another.

all the men in yon forest they asked of me,
how many strawberries grow in a salt sea?
and i answer them with a tear in my e’e,
how many ships sail in the forest?

oh dig me a grave and dig it sae deep,
and cover it over with wee flowers sae sweet.
and i lay me down for to take a long sleep
and maybe in time i’ll forget her.

so they dug him a grave and they dug it sae deep
and they covered it over with wee flowers sae sweet
and he lay him down for to take a long sleep
and maybe in time he’ll forget her.
