Lyrics

[00:15.654] By yon Castle wa', at the close of the day,
[00:25.132] I heard a man sing, tho' his head it way grey:
[00:33.952] And as he was singing, the tears doon came,-
[00:43.351] There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame
[00:54.531]
[00:59.860] The Church is in ruins, the State is in jars,
[01:08.602] Delusions, oppressions, and murderous wars,
[01:17.700] We dare na weel say't, but we ken wha's to blame,-
[01:26.794] There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame
[01:37.387]
[01:43.224] My seven braw sons for Jamie drew sword,
[01:51.996] But now I greet round their green beds in the yerd;
[02:00.817] It brak the sweet heart o' my faithful and dame,-
[02:09.881] There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame
[02:19.204]
[03:08.338] Now life is a burden that bows me down,
[03:17.316] Sin' I tint my bairns, and he tint his crown;
[03:26.269] But till my last moments my words are the same,-
[03:35.163] There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame
[03:45.679]
[03:51.677] By yon Castle wa', at the close of the day,
[04:00.189] I heard a man sing, tho' his head it way grey:
[04:09.236] And as he was singing, the tears doon came,-
[04:18.770] There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame
[04:27.345] There'll never be peace
[04:32.537] Till Jamie comes hame
[04:37.887]
