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 ay—
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 I 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 ! |

My heart is sair — I darena tell,— My heart is sair for Somebody; I could wake a winter night For the sake o' Somebody. O-hon 1 for Somebody I O-hey ! for Somebody ! I could range the world around For the sake o' Somebody. |
Ye Powers that smile on virtuous love, O, sweetly smile on Somebody ! Frae ilka danger keep him free, And send me safe my Somebody. O-hon ! for Somebody! O-hey! for Somebody ! I wad do—what wad I not?— For the sake o' Somebody 1 |
