Song—Thou hast left me ever, jamie

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!
