Sam Lee - My Ausheen Lyrics

I saw my lovely Anne
A way to the church go
Gold rings on her fingers
White gloves on her hand
Gold rings on her fingers
White gloves on her hand
She’s gone and she’s with another

And i said my lovely Anne
Just bide a wee while
For you have been so falsely beguiled
For you have been so falsely beguiled
You’re only my ausheen
And i’m not here
And the ladies and the gentleman
Came in enquiring on me
How many black berries grow in the salt sea
And i gave my reply with a tear in my eye
As many ships sail in the forest

While serving the glasses of brandy and wine
His health to the bonny lad
She should’ve been mine
Here’s a health to the bonny lass
She should’ve been mine

My bonny loves up and she’s gone and left me
My bonny loves up and she’s gone and left me
But it’s once or twice that she’s slept with me

And I'll go to my bed and I'll take a long sleep
You can cover me over with lilies so sweet
And you can cover me over with lilies so sweet
For it’s the only way I'll forget her
