Tune—"Fee him, father, fee him."

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 vow'd that Death

Only should us sever;

Now thou'st left thy lass for aye—

I maun see thee never, Jamie,

I'll 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 I'll close,

Never mair to waken, Jamie,

Never mair to waken!
