Verse:
I once loved a lass
        C majorC
I loved her sae weel
 G+G          C majorC
I hated all others who spoke of her ill
  G+G                 C majorC
But now she's rewarded me well for my love
     G+G     D MajorD    E minorEm
For she's gone to be wed to another

Verse:
 G+G             C majorC
I saw my love to the church go
   G+G                 C majorC
With bridesgroom and bridesmaidens they made a fine show
   G+G                 C majorC
And I followed on with my heart full of woe
    G+G     D MajorD    E minorEm
She was gone to be wed to another

I saw my love sit down to dine
   G+G           C majorC
As I sat down beside her I poured out the wine
 G+G                     C majorC
I drank to the lassie that should have been mine
   G+G         D MajorD    E minorEm
Even though she'd been wed to another

Verse:
  G+G
The men o' the forest

They ask it o' me
  G+G           C majorC
How many strawberries grow in the south sea?
 G+G                C majorC
I answer them a' with a tear in my ee'
  G+G     D MajorD      E minorEm
How many ships sail in the forest

Verse 5:
G+G
Dig me a grave
      C majorC
Dig it sae deep
  G+G       C majorC
And cover me over wi' flo'ers sae sweet
      G+G            C majorC
And I will lay down and tak' a long sleep
  G+G       D MajorD    E minorEm
And maybe in time I'll forget her
