Song—Stay my Charmer

by Robert Burns, 1788

Stay my charmer, can you leave me?
Cruel, cruel to deceive me;
Well you know how much you grieve me;
      Cruel charmer, can you go!
      Cruel charmer, can you go!

By my love so ill-requited,
By the faith you fondly plighted,
By the pangs of lovers slighted,
      Do not, do not liave me so!
      Do not, do not leave me so!
