THE VALLEY OF STRATHMORE
From Silly Wizard : So Many Partings
Andy M. Stewart


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

Chorus:
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

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 days pay

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
