I canna like you, gentle Sir,Altho a laird you be;I like a bonny Scottish lad,Wha brought me frae Dundee.Had awa' wi'Jamie,Had awa' wi Jamie.Had awa' wi Jamie o'er the lea:I'll gang wi' him right guid-will,He's a' the warld to me.
I'll gang wi' Jamie frae Dundee,To cheer the lonesome way;His cheeks are ruddy o'er wi' health,He's froliesome as May.Had awa', &c.
The lav'rock mounts to hail the morn,The lintwhite swells his threat;But never one so sweet, so clear,As Jamie's tuneful note,Had awe' &c.
