Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae farewell, and then forever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and goans I'll wage thee
verse 2
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him
While the star of hope she leaves him
Me nae cheerful twinkle lights me
Dark despair around benights me
verse 3
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy
Nothing could resist my Nancy
But to see her was to love her
Love but her, and love for ever
verse 4
Had we never loe'd sae kindly
Had we never loe'd sae blindly
Never met, nor never parted
We had ne'er been broken-hearted
Verse 5
Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest
Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest
Thine be ilka joy and treasure
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure
Verse 6
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae farewell, alas, for ever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
