Ae farewell, and then forever  
F                   C          Am

Warring sighs and goans I'll wage thee

Who shall say that Fortune grieves him

While the star of hope she leaves him  
F               C       Am

Dark despair around benights me

Love but her, and love for ever

Had we never loe'd sae blindly 
F              C     Am  
Never met, nor never parted

We had ne'er been broken-hearted

Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
