Lambs in the Greenfields - The Chieftains

作词：Traditional

作曲：Traditional

The lambs on the green hills they sport and they play

And many strawberries grow round the salt sea

And many strawberries grow round the slat sea

And many is the ship sails the ocean

The bride and brides' party to church they did go

A bride she road foremost she bares the best shawl

But I followed after with my heart filled with woo

To see my love wed to another

The next place I saw her was on the way home

Her hand on the former not knowing where to go

Says I my wee lassie I will be by your side

Although you are wed to another

Stop stop said the groom's man till I speak a word

Well you'll end your life on the point of my sword

For courting too slowly you've lost this fair maid

So be gone for you'll never enjoy her

Oh make now my grave both large wide and deep

And sprinkle it over with flowers so sweet

And lay me down in it to take my last leave

Oh that's the best way to forget her
