Letra de I once loved a lad

I once loved a lad and I loved him so well
That I hated all others that spoke of him ill
But noo he´s rewarded me well for my love
He´s gone to be wed to another

When I saw my love, to the church go
Wi´ bride and bride maidens, they made a fine show
And I followed on wi´ a heart fu´ of woe
For he´s gone to be wed to another

When I saw my love sit down to dine
I sat down beside him and poured out the wine
And I drank to the laddie wha should have been mine
But now he is wed to another

The men o´ yon forest, they ask it of me
How many stawberries grow in the salt sea
And I ask of them back with a tear in my e´e
How many ships sail in the forest

So dig me a grave and dig it so deep
And cover it ower with flowers so sweet
And I´ll turn in for to take a long sleep
Ad maybe in time I´ll forget him
