Thou hast lfet me ever.

⟨Thou⟩ has left me ever, Jamie,
⟨Thou⟩ hast left me ever;
⟨Thou⟩ hast 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 shall see thee never.

Thou hast me forsaken, Jamie,
Thou hast me forsaken;
Thou hast me forsaken, Jamie,
Thou hast me forsaken.
Thou canst love anither jo,
While my heart is breaking.
Soon my weary een I’ll close,
Never mair to wauken, Jamie,
Never mair to wauken.
