Tune—"An gille dubh ciar-dhubh."

Stay my charmer, can you leave me?

Cruel, cruel to deceive me;

Well you know how much you grieve me;

Cruel charmer, can you go!

Cruel charmer, can you go!

By my love so ill-requited,

By the faith you fondly plighted,

By the pangs of lovers slighted,

Do not, do not liave me so!

Do not, do not leave me so!
