Chorus: Am G F - / - - G - / C F C - / F - G -

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 were a thing man could buy
All the money that I have in store
I'd give for one day by her side
In the valley of Strathmore

From the glen and the golden and green
I left for a land far away
Where sadness has never been seen
Aye, 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 lying wi' you

As I take a long draught from my glass
Oh, I'm drinking alone here again
And I try no tae think o' my lass
For the old days will ne'er come again
