Lyrics:

Thou hast left me ever, Jamie
Thou hast left me ever
Thou hast left me ever, Jamie
Thou hast left me ever

Often hast thou sworn that death
Should alone us sever
Noo you've left my heart for aye
I'll 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 can love anither lass
While my heart is breaking
Soon my weary e'en I'll close
Never mair tae waken, Jamie
Never mair tae waken

Thou hast left me ever, Jamie
Thou hast left me ever
Thou hast left me ever, Jamie
Thou hast left me ever

Often hast thou sworn that death
Should alone us sever
Noo you've left my heart for aye
I'll see thee never
I'll see thee never
I'll see thee never
I'll see thee never

Thou hast me forsaken, Jamie
Thou hast me forsaken
Thou hast me forsaken, Jamie
Thou hast me forsaken

Thou can love anither lass
While my heart is breaking
Soon my weary e'en I'll close, I'll close
Never mair tae waken
