The Valley of Strathmore歌词

By the clear and the winding stream
In the valley of
Strathmore
Where my love and
I have been
Where we'll wander never more
But if time was a thing man could buy
All the money that
I have in store
I would give for one day by her side
In the valley of
Strathmore
From the glen of the golden and the green
I left for a land far away
Where sadness has never been seen
Aye, and joy only costs a day's pay
In Strathmore there's a long working day
For a man with his hands on the plow
But it's work
I'd be happy to do
If at night
I were lying with you
As I take a long draft from my glass
Oh, I'm drinking alone here again
And I try not to think of my lass
For the old days will ne'er come again
