Ja . mie, the glo-ry and pride of the Dee.
But now he's gone from me, and left me thus
mourning.
To quell the proud rebels, for valiant is he.
And there is no hope of his speedy returnlngj

billows.
The kindest and sweetest of all the gay fellows.
And left me to stray 'mong'st these once iovcd
willows.
The loneliest maid on the banks of the Dee.
