There's a village by the seaside

lt's the village I was born

Lives a lovely girl named Silver

By the colour of her hair.
Yes
we used to play together
By the harbour an?¤ the beach.
Yes
we used to sing together
With the people in the church.

AII the older people smiled
When we were walkin' down the streets.
Yes
they said that I was born for you
And you were born for me.
But my heart was always restless
And the village much too small.
So I left my home and friends
And kissed goodbye my Silver girl.

Silver
silver is her hair.
Silver was the love we sharin'.
Silver
Silver now I see

That your love was gold for me.

Yes
I saw so many cities
And I loved so many girls

But no one was there more pretty
Than my lovely Silver girl.
Too much songs and too much wine
I spend my life without regrets

But I always shed a tear
When I think of the love we had.

Silver
silver is her hair . . .

I wasn't there when you needed me most of all.
I wasn't there on your weddingday
I did not call.
I wasn't there at the day that your first child was born.
But believe me Baby
I think about you some time.

Silver
silver is her hair . . .
