There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame
Ot
came, There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. The
blame, There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame
My feven braw fons for Jamie drew fvvord,
And now I greet round their green beds in the yerd;
It birak the fweet heart of my faithfu'auld Dame,
There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.
Now life is a burden that bows me down,
Sin I tint my bairns, and he tint his crown;
But till my laft moments my words are the fame,
There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.

Volumes 1-6 - Scots musical museum
DescriptionBy James Johnson. 6 volumes. Edinburgh : Printed & sold by Johnson & Co., 1787-1803. Burns contributed largely to the work, and Stephen Clarke prepared the arrangements of most of the airs. ["The volumes of the Musical museum, as originally published, were 'Humbly dedicated to the Catch Club, instituted at Edinburgh June 1771.' On the completion of the sixth and last volume, in 1803, Johnson substituted a new set of title-pages, dedicating the work 'To the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.'"--Laing's pref., to 1839 ed., v. 1, p. ii, foot-note].
