I loved a lass Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Now[G] I [D]loved a lass,
and I loved her so [G]well,
That I [D]hated all others
who spoke [C]of [G]her ill.
[D]But now for my love
she's rewarded me well,
She's [C]gone to be wed [D]to another.
When I saw my young love
to the [G]church go,
Now a groom [D]an d bride -maiden
[C]she made a fine
[D]And I followed behind
with a head full of hope,
[C]soon she'd be wed to another.
[D]When I saw my young love sitting to din[G]e,
I [D]came out behind her
and [C]poured out the wine.
[D]And I drank tea that lassie,
who should have been mine,
But knew [C]she was wed to [D]another.
The men o 'er yon forest, they asket,
O [G]me,
How many [D]strawberries
[C]grow in the salt [D]sea?
And I answer down back
with a tear in my eye
How [C]many ships sail [D]in the forest
Now go dig me a grave and dig it [C]so deep
And [D]cover me over w[C]ith flowers this weep
[D]And lay me in to you to talk all I'm sleep
And [C]maybe in time I'll [D]forget her
So they dug him a grave
and dug it so [C]deep
And they've covered [D]him over
with [C]flowers [D]this week
And if Lena meant to you
to take a long sleep
And [C]maybe by now h[D]e's forgotten[C][D]
