I once loved a lass
I loved her so weell
That I hated all others
Who sought to her dell
But noo she's rewarded me weell for my love
For she's gone tae be wed, tae another

I saw my love
Tak a short walk
with bridesgrooms and bridesmaidens
they made a fine show
and I followed on with m'heart full of woe
for she's gone tae be wed, tae another

I saw my love, set doon tae dine
I set doon beside her
and poured out her wine
I drank tae that lassie that should have been mine
Though she's gone tae be wed, tae another

Dig me my grave
And dig it sae deep
And cover me
with fluerers sae sweet
It's I'll lay me doon and I'll tak a lang sleep
Aye and maybe in time, I'll forget her
Aye and maybe in time, I'll forget her
