[Intro]
C   G Am7  G  C  G Am7  G
[Verse 1]
Once GI roved out on a Cfine summer's Gday
The fields were in blossom, and the Cmeadows were Ggay
I Dspied a wee lassie tripping Go'er the Dgreen
I Gtook her for CHelen, that GGrecian queen
That DGrecian queen, that CGrecian queen
I Gtook her for Helen, that CGrecian quDeeGnAm7  G  D  C  D  G  
[Verse 2]
She's adGmired by others, I Cknow them right Gwell
Every morning to view that sweet Cspot where she Gdwells
BeDneath the hawthorn at the Gbrink on yon Dhill
May Gshe never marry, but Cthink on me Gstill
Oh, Dthink on me still, oh, Cthink on me still
May Gshe never marry, but Cthink on me stDilGlAm7  G  D  
[Verse 3]
My Gparents died on me, 'tis Call for their Gsake
And oft times it causes my Cpoor heart to Gbreak
But the Dmore I think on them, the Gmore I will Dsay
There's Gno one will be mine, but the Cwee lass on the Gbrae
Wee Dlass on the brae, wee Class on the brae
There's Gno one will be mine, but the wee Class on the brae

Oh and Gfaith, there's a deCcline over yon far-off Gsky
'Tis off to my darling, like Clightning I'll Gfly
If the Dnight were as long as a Glong summer's Dday
I'd Gcheerfully sit with my wee Class on the Gbrae
Wee Dlass on the brae, wee Class on the brae
I'd Gcheerfully sit with my wee Class on the brDaeG  Am7  G  D

So Gfare thee well, darling, I Clove you the Gbest
And may you be happy and Cmay you be Gblessed
And Dmay you think on me when GI'm far Daway
For there's Gno one will be mine, but the wee Class on the Gbrae
Wee Dlass on the brae, wee Class on the brae
There's Gno one will be mine, but the wee Class on the brae
