lyrics

The Sands o the Shore

I aince had a sweetheart but noo I hae nane
He stole awa ma hairt but I got it back again
I got it back again and sae let it be
For I care nae mair for him than the waves o the sea

CHORUS: The sands o the shore and the waves o the sea
When his back is turned he’s a stranger tae me
He’s a stranger tae me aye and sae let it be
For I care nae mair for him than the waves o the sea

He bocht fur me the praisent o a braw diamond ring
He thocht it wid entice me tae gang awa wi him
But I wasnae as foolish as he’s taen me tae be
An’ I care nae mair for him than the waves o the sea

He is the son o a high lord and king
But I am just the dochter o a pair working-man
So it he’s drink his wine an’ I’ll drink my tea
And I care nae mair for him than the waves o the sea
