Now, fare ye weel, my ain Jean,
This warld's care is vain, Jean ?
We'll meet and ay be fain
la the land o' the leal.
Charming Chloe.
TUNE— Dainty Davie.
It was the charming month of May,
When all the flow'rs were fresh and gay,
One morning, by the break of day,
The youthful, charming Chloe,
From peaceful slumber she arose,
Girt on her mantle and her hose,
And o'er the flow'ry mead she goes,
The youthful, charming Chloe,
Lovely was she by the dawn,
Youthful Chloe, charming Chloe,,
Tripping o'er the pearly lawn,
The youthful, charming Chloe.
The feather'd people, you might see,
Perch'd all around on ev'ry tree,
Jn notes of sweetest melody
They hail the charming Chloe ;
Now, fare ye weel, my ain Jean,
This warld's care is vain, Jean ?
We'll meet and ay be fain
la the land o' the leal.
