H
When I am frae my dearie!
I sleepless lie frae e’en to morn,
Tho’ I were ne’er so weary:
I sleepless lie frae e’en to morn,
Tho’ I were ne’er sae weary!
I spent wi’ you my dearie: And now what lands between us lie, How can I be but eerie! And now what lands between us lie, How can I be but eerie! As ye were wae and weary! It was na sae ye glinted by, When I was wi’ my dearie! It was na sae ye glinted by, When I was wi’ my dearie!
