Never, never never
Had so far to travel
Through the dust and the gravel
And through the green forest
That covers the land
And that is what is always calling me onwards
Leave you only with fondness
And thanks for your kindness
As I take forth your hand
CHORUS
But a beautiful songbird
Is singing to me
So sweet and so bonnie is she
That the flowers turn to greet her
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
For the very first time
Would you be a good lover of mine?
Da dum da dum dum
Da dum dum da dum dum
Dum dum dum
Never, never, never had so much to utter
But a spell in the gutter can work on the tongue
Make it still in the head
We could talk the hind legs off all of the horses
In all of the stables and I wish we were able
And I wish we could stay
CHORUS
Never, never, never had so much to offer
So why must we suffer
And why must it always feel this hard
When the sun is out the grass is greener
The sweet pea and camellia
The moss and the blossom that maketh your bed
CHORUS
