The Valley Of Strathmore lyrics

By the clear and the winding streams
In the Valley of Strathmore,
Where my love and I have been,
Where we`ll wander nevermore.

Chorus:
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 green
I left for a land far away
Where sadness has never been seen
And joy only costs a day`s pay.

In Strathmore there`s a long working day
For a man wi` his hands on the ploo
But it`s work I`d be happy tae dae,
If at night I were lyin` wi` you.

As I take a long draught from my glass
Oh I`m drinking alone here again
And I try no` to think o` my lass
For the old days will ne`er come again.
