Longside Road  from Smallworld by Dallahan

Longside Road 
Longside Road - Lyrics traditional, music Jack Badcock
Peace of Mind - Jani Lang (45 seconds part of track)

On Longside Road I've often trod
When the moon was shining clear.
‘twas there I spied another man
in the arms of my dear.

Another man now fill your arms
Where many times I've been before.
And he enjoys the favours now
Which I did once, but never more.

May he flourish in your arms
And happy may he be.
For he is innocent and ignorant
of what you've done to me.

You think that I could love you still
But oh how can this ever be?
For I am ever so resolved now
to shun your company.
I’m every bit as good as you
And I am of as good a kin
So you're as welcome to go by now
as you were to come in.

You have taken your own road
The thing you'll one day rue.
But mine’s a heart that will not break
for such a one as you.

If I chance to have a house
A house I'll call my own.
I’ll welcome in my old sweethearts
for the days of Auld Lang Syne.
