THE BROKEN HEART

I found a silver sixpence,A sixpence, a sixpence,I found a silver sixpence,And I brake it in twa;I gied it till a sodger,A sodger, a sodger,I gied it till a sodger,Before he gaed awa'.
I have a heart that's broken,That's broken, that's broken;I bear a heart that's broken,That's broken in twa—For I gied it till a sodger,A sodger, a sodger,I gied it till a sodger,—Before he gaed awa'!
