The lover's curse
Language: English
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.
