Poems and Songs of R Thou Hast Left Me Ever, Jamie

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!
