[Verse 1]

As time draws near my dearest dear

When you and I must part

How little you know of the grief and the woe

And my poor achin' heart

Each night I suffer for your sake

You're the girl that I love dear

Oh I wish that I was goin' wi' you

Or you were stayin' here

[Verse 2]

I wish my chest were made of glass

Wherein you might behold

Upon my heart your name lies wrote

In letters made of gold

In letters made of gold my love

Believе me when I say

You are thе one I will adore

Until my dyin' day

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

The blackest crow that ever flew

Would surely turn to white

If ever I prove false to you

Bright day will turn to night

Bright day will turn to night, my dear

Oh, the elements would mourn

If ever I prove false to you

The seas would rage and burn

[Verse 4]

And when you're on those Scotland's shores

Think on your absent friend

And when the wind blows high and low

A light to me, pray send

And when the wind blows high and low

Pray send your love to me

That I might know by your hand light

How life has gone for thee

[Instrumental Outro]
