The Valley of Strathmore

By: Andy~Stewart

Verse 1

By the clear and winding streams Of the valley of Strathmore Where my love and I have been Where we wander nevermore

Chorus 1

But if time were 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

Verse 2

From the glen of the golden an' green I have left for a land far away Where sadness has ne'er been seen And joy only costs a day's pay

Verse 3

In Strathmore theres a long workin' day For the man who lays hands on the hill But it's work I'd be happy to do If at night I was lyin' with you

Verse 4

As I take a long draught from my glass I am drinkin' the Long Hill again But I try no to think on my loss For the old days will ne'er come again
