Ae fond kiss and then we sever
Ae farewell, a
las, for
ever
Deep in heart-wrung
tears I’ll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I’ll
wage
thee
Who’s to say that fortune grieves him
While the star of
hope she
leaves him?
Me, no cheerful
twinkle lights me
Dark despair around be
nights
me
I’ll ne’er blame my partial fancy
Nothing could re
sist my
Nancy
But to see her
was to love her
Love but her and love for
ev
er
Had we never loved so kindly
Had we never
loved so
blindly
Never
met or
never parted
We’d ne’er been so broken-

[Instrumental]
Fare thee well, thou first and fairest
Fare thee well, thou
best and
dearest
Thine be ilka
joy and treasure
Peace, enjoyment, love and
plea
sure
Ae fond kiss and then we
sever
Ae farewell, a
las, for
ever
Deep in heart-wrung
tears I’ll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I’ll
wage
thee
