There's mony a man loves land and lifeA
Loves life and land and feeB
And mony a man loves fair womenC
But never a man loves me my loveD
But never a man loves meB
O weel and weel for a' loversE
I wot weel may they beB
And weel and weel for a' fair maidensF
But aye mair woe for me my loveD
But aye mair woe for meB
O weel be wi' you ye sma' flowersE
Ye flowers and every treeB
And weel be wi' you a' birdiesG
But teen and tears wi' me my loveD
But teen and tears wi' meB
O weel be yours my three brethrenC
And ever weel be yeB
Wi' deeds for doing and loves for wooingH
But never a love for me my loveD
But never a love for meB
And weel be yours my seven sistersE
And good love days to seeB
And long life days and true loversE
But never a day for me my loveD
But never a day for meB
Good times wi' you ye bauld ridersE
By the hieland and the leeB
And by the leeland and by the hielandI
It's weary times wi' me my loveD
It's weary times wi' meB
Good days wi' you ye good sailorsE
Sail in and out the seaB
And by the beaches and by the reachesJ
It's heavy days wi' me my loveD
It's heavy days wi' meB
I had his kiss upon my mouthK
His bairn upon my kneeB
I would my soul and body were twainL
And the bairn and the kiss wi' me my loveD
And the bairn and the kiss wi' meB
The bairn down in the mools my dearM
O saft and saft lies sheB
I would the mools were ower my headI
And the young bairn fast wi' me my loveD
And the young bairn fast wi' meB
The father under the faem my dearM
O sound and sound sleeps heB
I would the faem were ower my faceN
And the father lay by me my loveD
And the father lay by meB
I would the faem were ower my faceN
Or the mools on my ee breeB
And waking time with a' loversE
But sleeping time wi' me my loveD
But sleeping time wi' meB
I would the mools were meat in my mouthK
The saut faem in my eeB
And the land worm and the water wormO
To feed fu' sweet on me my loveD
To feed fu' sweet on meB
My life is sealed with a seal of loveD
And locked with love for a keyB
And I lie wrang and I wake langP
But ye tak' nae thought for me my loveD
But ye tak' nae thought for meB
We were weel fain of love my dearM
O fain and fain were weB
It was weel with a' the weary worldI
But O sae weel wi' me my loveD
But O sae weel wi' meB
We were nane ower mony to sleep my dearM
I wot we were but threeB
And never a bed in the weary worldI
For my bairn and my dear and me my loveD
For my bairn and my dear and meB
