lyrics

The lambs on the green hills, they sport and they play,
And many strawberry grows round the salt sea.
How sad is my heart when my love is away,
How many's the ship sails the ocean?

The bride and bride's party to church they did go,
The bride she rode foremost, (she bore the best show.)
But I followed after, my heart full of woe
To see my love wed to another.

The first place I saw her was in the church stand,
A ring on her finger, her love by her hand.
Says I, my wee lassie, I will be your man,
Although you are wed to another.

The next place I saw her was on the way home,
I ran on before her, not knowing where to go.
Says I, "My wee lassie, I'll be by your side,
Although you are wed to another."

"Stop", said the groomsman, 'till I speak a word -
Will venture your life on the point of my sword?
For courting so slowly you've lost your fair maid,
So, begone, for you'll never enjoy her."

O make now my grave, both large, wide, and deep,
And sprinkle it over with flowers so sweet.
And lay me down in it to take my last sleep,
For that's the best way to forget her.

The lambs on the green hills, they sport and play,
And many strawberry grows round the salt sea.
How sad is my heart when my love is away,
How many's the ship sails the ocean,
How many's the ship sails the ocean.

One of my favourite albums of 2022. The rich mixture of traditional musics with field recordings and experimentation fit hand in glove. With its long form passages, there is a beautiful surprise around every corner as the music wends its way along its watery course. Teedubyabee
