Subject: Lyr Add: I LOVED A LASS / MOON DOG
Marie, here you are.
I LOVED A LASS
Oh, I loved a lass and I loved her so well
That I hated all others for eyes that sparkle
But now she's rewarded me well for all my love
She's a-goin' to be wed to another
When I saw my love to the church go
With bride and bridemaids she made a fine show
I followed her on with a heart full of woe
She's a-goin' to be wed to another
When I saw my love sit down to dine
I sat down beside her to the board and the wine
I drank to the lassie that should have been mine
She's a-goin' to be wed to another
And the men in the forest they asked it of me
Saying how many strawberries grow in the salt sea
I answered them back with a tear in my eye
How many ships sail in the harbour?
MOON DOG
He's a beggar on a street corner
To most passers by that's all he is
Playing a black pawnbroker
Moon dog is
But to me he's something special
As he sits alone a-playing his drum
If I play he's right here with me
Moon dog is
All you people who did see him
Won't you tell me what I misseed
By never seeing this son of rhythm
'Cause that's what Moon Dog is
