Tannahill Weavers - I Once Loved a Lass

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “We heard this particular version of the song many years ago but, for a variety of reasons, never got round to performing it either live or on record. Perhaps the saddest of all human emotions is unrequited love, and let’s face it, most of us like a good requite now and then. Unfortunately, it was not to be. I once loved a lass, I loved her sae weel I hated all others that thought o’ her ill But noo she’s rewarded me weel for my love She has gone tae be wed tae another I saw my love into the church go Wi’ bridegroom and brides maidens they made a fine show And I followed on wi’ my heart fu’ o’ woe She was gone tae be wed tae another I saw my love sit doon tae dine I sat doon beside her and poured oot the wine I drank tae that lassie who should hae been mine Even though she was wed tae another Oh dig me my grave and dig it sae deep And cover me ower wi’ flooers 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 from The Tannahill Weavers IV, released January 1, 1981 Traditional arr.
