W:2.I met our wealthy laird yestreen;
W:    Wi' gowd in hand he tempted me;
W:  He prais'd my brow, my rolling een,
W:    And made a brag o' what he'd gie.
W:  What though my Jockey's far away,
W:    Tost up and down the dinsome main?
W:  I'll keep my heart anither day,
W:    Since Jockey may return again.
W:
W:3.Nae mair, false Jamie, sing nae mair,
W:    And fairly cast your pipe away;
W:  My Jockey wad be troubled sair,
W:    To see his friend his love betray:
%page 180
W:  For a' your sangs and verse are vain,
W:    While Jockey's notes do faithfu' flow;
W:  My heart to him shall true remain,
W:    I'll keep it for my constant jo.
W:
W:4.Blaw saft, ye gales, round Jockey's head,
W:    And gar the waves be calm and still;
W:  His hameward sail wi' breezes speed,
W:    And dinna a' my pleasure spill.
W:  What though my Jockey's far away?
W:    Yet he will braw in siller shine;
W:  I'll keep my heart anither day,
W:    Since Jockey may again be mine.

T:  WI' WAEFU' HEART AND SORROWING EB

K:
W:1.Wi' waefu' heart and sorrowing ee,
W:    I saw my Jamie sail awa:
W:  O 'twas a fatal day to me,
W:    That day he past the Berwick Law.
W:  How joyless now seem'd a' behind!
W:    I ling'ring stray'd alang the shore;
%page 181
W:  Dark boding fears hung on my mind,
W:    That I might never see him more.
W:
W:2.The night came on wi' heavy rain,
W:    Loud, fierce, and wild, the tempest blew;
W:  In mountains roll'd the awful main--
W:    Ah, hapless maid! my fears how true!
W:  The landsmen heard their drowning cries;
W:    The wreck was seen with dawning day:
W:  My love was found, and now he lies
W:    Low in the isle o' gloomy May.
W:
W:3.O boatman, kindly waft me o'er!
W:    The cavern'd rock shall be my home;
W:  'Twill ease my burden'd heart, to pour
W:    Its sorrows o'er his grassy tomb.
W:  Wi' sweetest flow'rs I'll deck his grave,
W:    And 'tend them through the langsome year;
W:  I'll water them ilk morn and eve
W:    Wi' deepest sorrow's warmest tear.
