Lyrics

As time draws near my dearest dear
When you and I must part
How little you know of the grief and the woe
And my poor achin' heart
Each night I suffer for your sake
You're the girl that I love dear
Oh I wish that I was goin' wi' you
Or you were stayin' here
I wish my chest were made of glass
Wherein you might behold
Upon my heart your name lies wrote
In letters made of gold
In letters made of gold my love
Believe me when I say
You are the one I will adore
Until my dyin' day
The blackest crow that ever flew
Would surely turn to white
If ever I prove false to you
Bright day will turn to night
Bright day will turn to night, my dear
Oh, the elements would mourn
If ever I prove false to you
The seas would rage and burn
And when you're on those Scotland's shores
Think on your absent friend
And when the wind blows high and low
A light to me, pray send
And when the wind blows high and low
Pray send your love to me
That I might know by your hand light
How life has gone for thee
