Don't Come Again
Sheet Music (and more information about this song)
Oh, the first place that I saw my love it was at a ball,
I looked at her, I gazed on her, oh, far above them all,
But aye she lookéd on me with scorn and disdain
And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to no come again,
Was to no come again,
And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to no come again.
The next place that I saw my love it was at a wake,
I looked at her, I gazed on her, I thought my heart would break,
But aye she looked on me with scorn and disdain
and the bonny wee lassie's answer was to no come again,
Was to no come again,
And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to no come again.
It being in six months after, a little or above,
When Cupid shot his arrow and he wounded my true love,
He wounded her severely, it caused her to complain
And she wrote to me a letter saying, "You might come again",
saying "you might come again",
And she wrote to me a letter saying, "You might come again",
I wrote her back an answer all for to let her know
While life was in my body it's there I wouldnae go,
While life was in my body and while it does remain
I will aye mind the girl that said - "Don't come again",
that said "don't come again",
I will aye mind the girl that said - "Don't come again",
Come all you pretty fair maids, a warning take by me,
Never slight a young man wherever they may be,
For if you do you're sure to rue, they'll cause you to complain
And you'll aye rue the day that you said, "Don't come again",
You said "Don't come again",
You will aye rue the day you said "Don't come again".
