There’s a village by the seaside It’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 and the beach Yes, we used to sing together With the people in the church
All 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 Silver was the love we sharin’ Silver, silver now I see That your love was gold for me
I wasn’t there when you needed me most of all I wasn’t there on your wedding day, 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 Silver was the love we sharin’ Silver, silver now I see That your love was gold for me
