Sands o’ the Shore (lyrics)
This is a traditional song Christine learned from the singing of Heather Heywood.
Sands o’ the Shore
1. I aince had a sweethert but noo ah hae nane
He stole awa ma hert but I got it back again.
Aye ah got it back again aye an sae let him be
For I care nae mair fer him than the waves o’ the sea.
Chorus
O the sands o the shore an the waves o the sea
When his back is turned he’s a stranger tae me.
He’s a stranger tae me aye an sae let him be
For I care nae mair fer him than the waves o the sea.
2. Oh he bocht me a present o a braw diamond ring
He thought it would entice me tae gang awa wi him
But i wisnae sae foolish as he taen me tae be
And I care na mair fer him than the waves o the sea.
3.Oh he is the son o a high lord an king
And I am but the dochter o a pair workin man.
Sae let him drink his wine an I’ll drink ma tea
For I care na mair fer him than the waves o the sea.
