[Verse]
Oh, I loved a lass and I loved her so Fwell
But I Chated all others who Bbof her spoke Cill
But now she's reFwarded me Cwell for Gmy love
She's a-Bbgone to be Fwed to aCnother
[Verse]
When I saw my love to the church Fgo
With Cbride and bride-maidens, she Bbmade a fine Cshow
I followed her Fon with a Cheart full of Gwoe
She's a-Bbgone to be Fwed to aCnother
[Verse]
When I saw my love sit down to Fdine
I Csat down beside her and I Bbpoured out the Cwine
I drank to the Flassie that Cshould have been Gmine
She's a-Bbgone to be Fwed to aCnother
[Verse]
And the men in the forest they asked of Fme
Saying, "How Cmany strawberries grow Bbin the salt Csea?"
I answered them Fback with a Ctear in my Geye
"How Bbmany ships Fsail in the Cforest?"
