W:I courted a wee girl for many's the long day
W:And I slighted all others that came in my way
W:But now she's rewarded me to the last day
W:She's gone to be wed to another.
W:
W:The bride and bride's party to church they did go
W:The bride she rode foremost she put the best show
W:And I followed after with a heart full of woe
W:To see my love wed to another.
W:
W:The bride and bride's party in church they did stand
W:Gold rings on their fingers, a love by the hand
W:The man that she's wed to he has houses and land
W:He may have her since I couldn't gain her.
W:
W:The next time I say her she was seated down neat
W:I sat down beside her not a bite could I eat
W:For I thought my love's company far better than meat
W:Since love was the cause of my ruin.
W:
W:The last time I saw her she was all dressed in white
W:And the more I gazed on her she dazzled my sight
W:I lifted my hat and I bade her goodnight
W:Here's adieu to all false-hearted lovers.
W:
W:I courted that wee girl for many's the long day
W:And I slighted all others that came in my way
W:But now she's rewarded me to the last day
W:She's gone to be wed to another.
W:
W:So dig me a grave and dig it down deep
W:And strew it all over with primrose so sweet
W:And lay me down easy for no more to weep
W:Since love was the cause of my ruin.
