I Once Loved a Lass

Lyrics

I once loved a lass, I loved her sae weel That I hated all others that thought o' her ill But noo she's rewarded me weel for my love For she's gone tae be wed tae another I saw my love intae the church go Wi' bridegroom and bride's maidens, they made a fine show And I followed on wi' my heart fu' o' woe For she'd gone tae be wed tae another I saw my love sit doon tae dine I sat doon beside her and poured oot the wine I drank tae that lassie who should hae been mine Even though she was wed tae another Dig me my grave, and dig it sae deep And cover me ower wi' flooers sae sweet It's I'll lay me doon and I'll tak' a lang sleep Aye and maybe in time I'll forget her Aye and maybe in time I'll forget her
