DOWN THE BURN, DAVIE.
But leave thee, leave thee, lad,
How shall I leave thee ?
Oh ! that thought makes me sad ;
I '11 never leave thee !
Where would my Adonis fly ?
Why does he grieve me ?
Alas ! my poor heart will die,
If I should leave thee.

improved version of the last verse, from the pen of Burns, is
adopted.
