[Intro]
G
[Verse]
C
I once loved a lass and I loved her so well
G C
I hated all others who spoke of her ill
G C
But now she's done rewarded me well for my love
G D Em
She's gone to be wed to another
[Verse]
G C
I watched as my love did to the church go
G C
With a bride and bride-maidens she made a fine show
G C
And I followed her on with a heart full of woe
G D Em
To see my love be wed to another
G D Em
To see my love be wed to another
[Verse]
G C
I watched as my love did sit down to dine
G C
I sat down beside her and I poured out the wine
G C
And I drank to the wee lass that should have been mine
G D Em
But now she is wed to another
[Verse]
G C
"Well, stop," says the groomsman, "If you take my word
G C
Would you venture your life on the point of a sword?
G C
For courting too slowly you have lost this fair maiden
G D Em
Begone, you will never enjoy her
G D Em C
Begone, you will never enjoy her"

[Verse]
G C
Now the lads of the forest, they ask it of me
G C
"How many strawberries grow 'round the salt sea?"
G C
And I answer them back with a tear in my eye
G D Em
"How many ships sail in the forest?"
[Verse]
G C
Go dig me a grave all large, wide and deep
G C
And cover it over with wild flowers sweet
G C
And lay me down gently for to take my long sleep
G D Em
And that's the best way to forget her
[Verse]
G C
So we dug him a grave all large, wide and deep
G C
And covered it over with wild flowers sweet
G C
And we laid him down gently for to take his long sleep
G D Em
And maybe by now he's forgotten
G D Em
And maybe by now he's forgotten
