Ae fond kiss and then we sever

Ae farewel and then for ever

Deep in heart wrung tears I'll pledge thee

Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee

Who shall say that Fortune grieves her

While the star of hope she leaves her

Me nae cheerful twinkle lights me

Dark despair around benights me

I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy

Nothing could resist my Nancy

But to see her was to love her

Love but her and love forever

Had we never loved sae kindly

Had we never loved sae blindly

Never met or never parted

We would never been broken hearted

Fare thee weel thou first and fairest

Fare thee weel thou best and dearest

Thine be ilka joy and treasure

Peace enjoyment love and pleasure

Ae fond kiss and then we sever

Ae farewel and then for ever

Deep in heart wrung tears I'll pledge thee

Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee

Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
