Stay, My Charmer, Can You Leave Me?
(Robert Burns)

Stay, my charmer, can you leave me ?
Cruel, cruel to deceive me!
Well you know how much you grieve me!
Cruel charmer, can you go?
Cruel charmer, can you go?

By my love so ill-requited,
By the faith you fondly plighted,
By the pangs of lovers slighted,
Do not, do not leave me so!
Do not, do not leave me so!
