I courted a wee girl for many's a long day
And I slighted all others that came in my way
But now she's rewarded me to the last day
She is gone to be wed to another
The bride and bride's party to church they did go
The bride she rode foremost, she put the best show
And I followed after with a heart full of woe
To see me love wed to another
The bride and bride's party in church they did stand
Gold rings on their fingers, a love by the hand
The man she is wed to he has houses and land
He may have her since I couldn't gain her
The next time I saw her she was seated down to eat
I sat down beside her that I could not eat
For I thought without company far better the meat
Since love was the cause of my ill
The last time I saw her she was all dressed in white
The more I gazed on her she dazzled my sight
I lifted my hat and I bade her goodnight
Here's a jewel to all false-hearted lovers
I courted that wee girl for many's a long day
And I slighted all others that came in my way
But now she's rewarded me to the last day
She is gone to be wed to another
So dig me a grave and dig it down deep
And strew it all over with primrose so sweet
And lay me down easy, no more for to weep
Since love was the cause of my ill
