Stay My Charmer


Tune ·  An gille dubh ciar-dhubh

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 liave me so!Do not, do not leave me so!
