Gone awa from me, Mary.
To its own Tune.
Thou art gone awa, thou art gone awa,
Thou art gone awa from me, Mary ;
,Nor friends nor I could make thee stay.,
Thou hast cheated them an' me, Mary.
Until this hour I never thought
That ought could alter thee, Mary^
Thou'rt still the mistress of my heart,
Think what you will of me, Mary*
Whate'er he said, or might pretend,
That stole that heart of thine, Mary,
True love I'm sure was ne'er his end,
Or nae such love as mine, Mary.
I spoke sincere, nor flatter'd much,
Had no unworthy thoughts, Mary ;
Ambition, wealth, nor naething such,
No — I lov'd only thee, Mary.
Tho' you've been false, yet while I live.,
No other maid I'll woo, Mary ;
Till friends forget, and I forgive
Thy wrongs to them and me, Mary :
Gone awa from me, Mary.
To its own Tune.
Thou art gone awa, thou art gone awa,
Thou art gone awa from me, Mary ;
,Nor friends nor I could make thee stay.,
Thou hast cheated them an' me, Mary.
Until this hour I never thought
That ought could alter thee, Mary^
Thou'rt still the mistress of my heart,
Think what you will of me, Mary*
Whate'er he said, or might pretend,
That stole that heart of thine, Mary,
True love I'm sure was ne'er his end,
Or nae such love as mine, Mary.
I spoke sincere, nor flatter'd much,
Had no unworthy thoughts, Mary ;
Ambition, wealth, nor naething such,
No — I lov'd only thee, Mary.
Tho' you've been false, yet while I live.,
No other maid I'll woo, Mary ;
Till friends forget, and I forgive
Thy wrongs to them and me, Mary :
