st thou leave me thus, my katie
tune—“roy's wife.”
chorus—st thou leave me thus, my katie?
st thou leave me thus, my katie?
well thou know'st my ag heart,
and st thou leave me thus, for pity?
is this thy plighted, fard,
thus cruelly to part, my katie?
is this thy faithful swain's reward—
an ag, broke, my katie!
st thou leave me, &c.
farewell! and ne'er such sorrows tear
that finkle heart of thine, my katie!
thou maysn find those will love thee dear,
but not a love like mine, my katie,
st thou leave me, &c.
