Young Jamie, Pride Of A The Plain（1 / 1）

young jamie, pride of a' the plain

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.”
