Silly Wizard - The Valley Of Strathmore lyrics

rate me

By the clear and the winding stream

In the valley of Strathmore

Where my love and I have been

Where we'll wander never more

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 the green

I left for a land far away

Where sadness has never been seen

Aye, and joy only costs a day's pay

In Strathmore there's a long working day

For a man with his hands on the plow

But it's work I'd be happy to do

If at night I were lying with you

As I take a long draft from my glass

Oh, I'm drinking alone here again

And I try not to think of my lass

For the old days will ne'er come again
