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
|
