This one and that one will court him,
but e'er he gets any but me
both daily and hourly I'll curse them
that stole lovely Jamie from me.

Far in the land of the stranger
six hundred long miles o'er the sea,
to fight in the lowlands of Holland
they stole lovely Jamie from me.

Sadness and weeping are on me
for the lad that is over the sea,
but daily and hourly I'll curse them
that stole lovely Jamie from me.
