thou hast left me ever, jamie
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 ss for aye—
i mauhee 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 st love another jo,
while my heart is breaking;
soon my weary een i'll close,
never mair to waken, jamie,
never mair to waken!
