作曲 : Olivia Chaney
I loved a lad, I loved him so well
I hated all others who spoke of him ill
Now he's rewarded me well for my love
For he's going to be wed to another
I saw my love going to the curb door
With his fair maiden he made a fine show
I followed them with a head full o' woe
For to see my love wed for another
The bride and the bridegroom sat down to dine
I sat down beside them, poured out the wine
For to drink to a lover that should have been mine
But he's going to be wed to another
The men of yon city, they ask it of me
How many strawberries grow in the salt sea?
I answered them with a tear in my eye
How many dark ships sail the forest?
Dig me a grave, dig it so deep
Cover it up with flowers so sweet
I'll lay me down there and take a long sleep
And maybe in time I'll forget him
