I Loved A Lass

[Verse]
Oh, I loved a lass and I loved her 
   F
so well
      C                    Bb     
But I hated all others who of her 
      C
spoke ill
                F         C        
But now she's rewarded me well for 
G
my love
        Bb         F       C
She's a-gone to be wed to another

[Verse]
                                 F
When I saw my love to the church go

     C                            
With bride and bride-maidens, she 
Bb          C
made a fine show
               F         C        
I followed her on with a heart 
     G
full of woe
        Bb         F       C
She's a-gone to be wed to another

[Verse]
                               F
When I saw my love sit down to dine
  C                         Bb    
I sat down beside her and I poured
         C
 out the wine
               F           C      
I drank to the lassie that should 
          G
have been mine
        Bb         F       C
She's a-gone to be wed to another

[Verse]
And the men in the forest they asked
    F
 of me
             C                     
Saying, "How many strawberries grow
 Bb          C
 in the salt sea?"
                F           C     
I answered them back with a tear 
     G
in my eye
     Bb         F           C
"How many ships sail in the forest?"
