THOU hast left me ever, Jamie,
Thou hast left me ever;
Thou has left me ever, Jamie,
Thou hast left me ever:
Aften hast thou vowd that Death
Only should us sever;
Now thoust left thy lass for aye
I maun see thee never, Jamie,
Ill see thee never.
Thou hast me forsaken, Jamie,
Thou hast me forsaken;
Thou hast me forsaken, Jamie,
Thou hast me forsaken;
Thou canst love another jo,
While my heart is breaking;
Soon my weary een Ill close,
Never mair to waken, Jamie,
Never mair to waken!
