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 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!
