(C) By the clear and the (F) winding (C) stream
In the (F) valley of Strath (G) more
Where my (C) love and (F) I have (C) been
Where we'll (F) wander never (G) more
But if (Amin) time was a (G) thing man could (Amin) buy
All the (F) money that I have in (G) store
I would (C) give for one (F) day by her (C) side
In the (F) valley of Strath (G) more
From the glen of the golden and the green
I left for a land far away
Where sadness has never been seen
Aye, and joy only costs a day's pay
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 with his hands on the plow
But it's work I'd be happy to do
If at night I were lying with you
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
As I take a long draft from my glass
Oh, I'm drinking alone here again
And I try not to think of my lass
For the old days will ne'er come again
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
