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 anä 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 . . .
