The Book of Scottish Song/Lassie, lie near me

Lassie, lie near me.

[Old words to the tune of "Laddie, lie near me," with the exception of the substitution of "Lassie," for "Laddie."]

Lang ha'e we parted been,
⁠Lassie, my dearie;
Now we are met again,
⁠Lassie, lie near me,
⁠Near me, near me,
⁠Lassie, lie near me.
⁠Lang hast thou lain thy lane;
⁠Lassie, lie near me.

A' that I ha'e endured,
⁠Lassie, my dearie,
Here in thy arms is cured;
⁠Lassie, lie near me.
