W:  But now I greet o'er their green beds in the yird;
W:  It brak the sweet heart o' my faithfu' auld dame,
W:  Sin' Jamie and peace they are baith o' them gane.

W:  Sin' I lost my children, and he tint his crown;
W:  But till my last moments my words are the same.
W:  There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.
