Tune-"An gille dubh ciar-dhubh."
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!
