e's him that's far awa, Willie! Here's him that's far awa; And here's the flower that I lo'e best-- The rose that's like the snaw! THERE'LL NEVER BE PEACE TILL JAMIE COMES HAME By yon castle wa', at the close of the day, I heard a man sing, tho' his head it was grey: And as he was singing, the tears down came-- 'There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. 'The church is in ruins, the state is in jars, Delusions, oppressions, and murderous wars; We dare na weel say't, but we ken wha's to blame-- There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.

CHARLIE HE'S MY DARLING 'Twas on a Monday morning Right early in the year, That Charlie came to our town-- The Young Chevalier! CHORUS An' Charlie he's my darling, My darling, my darling, Charlie he's my darling-- The Young Chevalier! As he was walking up the street The city for to view, O, there he spied a bonie lass The window looking thro! Sae light's he jumped up the stair, And tirl'd at the pin;
