Sands o the shore

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

Chorus:
And 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 him be
For I care nae mair for him than the waves o' the sea

He gied tae me the praisent o' a braw diamond ring
He thocht it wid entise me tae gang awa' wi' him
But I wisnae as foolish as he'd taen me tae be
And I care nae mair for him than the waves o' the sea

(Chorus)

Oh he is the son o' a high lord and king
And I am but the daughter o' a pair workin' man
So it's he'll drink his wine, and I'll drink my tea
And I care nae mair for him than the waves o' the sea

(Chorus 2x)

Still I care nae mair for him than the waves o' the sea
