[@abrhamgebeyehu933]

I once loved a lass I loved her sae weel I hated all others who spoke of her ill But now she's rewarded me well for my love For she's gone to be wed to another I saw my love to the church go With bridegroom and bridesmaidens they made a fine show And I followed on with my heart full of woe She was gone to be wed to another I saw my love sit down to dine As I sat down beside her I poured out the wine I drank to the lassie that should have been mine Even though she'd been wed to another The men o' the forest They ask it o' me How many strawberries grow in the salt sea? I answer them a' with a tear in my ee' How many ships sail in the forest Dig me a grave Dig it sae deep And cover me over wi' flo'ers sae sweet And I will lay down and I'll tak' a long sleep And maybe in time I'll forget her

A very lovely song with powerful lyrics. It speaks of love,sadness and betrayal. The voice and the words capture your soul and you are in a trance till he stops singing. The world is a better place with Good music

Reminds me of my Mom's love for Irish music, which she passed on to me!

is this about a man who died of broken heart?

[@richardmarkritchie8220]

It must be! What a sweet way to exit though!

[@lucianosilva582]

Uma vez eu amei uma moça e eu a amava muito bem Eu odiava quando todos os outros falavam de eu estar doente Mas agora ela está recompensado bem o meu amor Ela se foi para se casar com outro Eu vi como o meu amor fez o seu movimento na igreja Como noiva e com as noiva-donzelas ela fez um show muito bem E eu a segui com meu coração cheio de dor Para ver o meu amor se casar com outro Eu vi como o meu amor fez sentar-se para jantar Sentei-me ao lado dela e eu derramei o vinho E eu bebia para a pequenina moça que deveria ter sido minha Mas agora ela está casada com outro Agora os rapazes da floresta, eles perguntaram para mim "Quantos morangos crescem em volta do mar salgado? " E eu respondo de volta com uma lágrima no meu olho "Quantos navios navegam na floresta? Então, nós cavamos uma sepultura grande, larga e profunda E cobriu-a com flores doces e silvestres E nós deitou gentilmente para seu longo sono E talvez por agora ela tenha me esquecido

[@meganfrost3680]

I personally think Richard Rankin's version is better but this one is ok!

[@rnhealer6044]

This is such a beautiful song. Rik Rankin's version from Outlander is missing the last verse.

[@AnnickGrondin-h3n]

J’adore… Ces deux voix ensemble, Roger et Brianna… Très émouvant avec le petit Jem qui écoute…

[@JennyTowns88]

Heard this song sung on the BBC show Larkrise to Candleford.

[@helenswan705]

There are very many versions of this song. it is first recorded in Neither Scotland nor ireland, but in Newcastle upon tyne in 1680.

[@mauricefrost8900]

The tune is used as a base for ‘The ladies go dancing at Whitsun’ Do give that a listen as well

[@readerbonnie]

The same melody as Birmingham Sunday. Just as haunting.

[@gabrielspartacus6342]

We sing the song of a 1600s nice guy simp 😂😂
