Roy\u27s Wife

[written above music staff]Roy\u27s wife of Aldivalloch! Roy\u27s wife of Aldivalloch!Wat ye how she cheated me, As I came o\u27er the braes of Balloch!She vowed, she swore she wad bemine;She said she lo\u27ed me best of ony;But ah, the fickle, faithless, faithless queen!She\u27s ta\u27en the earl, and left he Jonnie. Though you leave me now in sorrow,Smiles may light our love tomorrow,Doomed to part my faithful heart,A gleam of joy from hope shall borrow.Ah! ne\u27er forget when friends are near,This heart alone is thine forever,Thou may\u27st find those will love thee, love thee dear,But not a love like mine, O never. O, she was a canty quean;Weel could she dance the Highland walloch;How happy I had she been mine,Or I been Roy of Aldivalloch!Roy\u27s wife, &c. Her hair sae fair, her e\u27en sae clear,her wee bit mou\u27sae sweet and bonnie-To me she ever will be dear,Though she\u27s forever left her Jonnie.Roy\u27s wife, &c
