In the Valley of Strathmore,
Where my love and I have been,
Where we'll wander nevermore.
Chorus:
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 green
I left for a land far away
Where sadness has never been seen
And joy only costs a day's pay.
In Strathmore there's a long working day
For a man wi' his hands on the ploo
But it's work I'd be happy tae dae,
If at night I were lyin' wi' you.
As I take a long draught from my glass
Oh I'm drinking alone here again
And I try no' to think o' my lass
For the old days will ne'er come again.
By the clear and the winding streams In the Valley of Strathmore, Where my love and I have been, Where we'll wander nevermore. Chorus: 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.

In Strathmore there's a long working day For a man wi' his hands on the ploo But it's work I'd be happy tae dae, If at night I were lyin' wi' you. As I take a long draught from my glass Oh I'm drinking alone here again And I try no' to think o' my lass For the old days will ne'er come again. Explain Request ×
