Tune-"The Carlin of the Glen."
Young Jamie, pride of a' the plain, / Sae gallant and sae gay a swain, / Thro' a' our lasses he did rove, / And reign'd resistless King of Love.
But now, wi' sighs and starting tears, / He strays amang the woods and breirs; / Or in the glens and rocky caves, / His sad complaining dowie raves: -
"I wha sae late did range and rove, / And chang'd with every moon my love, / I little thought the time was near, / Repentance I should buy sae dear.
"The slighted maids my torments see, / And laugh at a' the pangs I dree; / While she, my cruel, scornful Fair, / Forbids me e'er to see her mair. "
