| The melody is from the Skene Manuscript (1680), the words are by Charles Neaves.

Adieu, Dundee, from Mary parted, Here nae mair my lot may be. Wha can bear when broken hearted, Scenes that peak o' joys gone by. A' things ance were sweet and smiling In the light o' Mary's e'e, Fairest seemings maist beguiling Love, adieu! adieu, Dundee. Like yon water softly gliding, When the wind are laid to sleep Such my life, when I confiding Gave to her my heart to keep. Like yon water widly rushing When the northwind stirs the sea, Such the change my heart now crushing, Love, adier! adieu, Dundee. |
