Thou Hast Left Me Ever Jamie
Robert Burns (Public Domain) arranged by Karine Polwart (Bay Songs Ltd) & Steven Polwart (MCPS/PRS)

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
