"Oh rise up my darling and come with me   I want to go with you and leave this country   To leave my fathers dwelling, this house and the land   So away goes Jamie with his love in his arms      They go over hills and the mountains and glens   Traveling all through the night in the mist in the rain   But her father has followed and has taken his men   And he captured poor Jamie with his love in his arms      Now home she was taken to her room she is bound   While poor Jamie lies on the cold stoney ground   And he knows all the while before the judge he will stand   For the stealing of nothing but his own true love's hand      In the cold hard iron his hands they are bound   Handcuffed like a murderer and tied to the ground   And the goaler tells Jamie "last night I did hear   That your Lady will hang you or else set you clear"      The judge says "this young girl being tender in youth   If Jamie is guilty she will tell the truth"   Then the radiant beauty before him did stand   "Oh I'm happy to see you my bold Irish lad"      But the father cries out "Lord have pity on me   For the man came to bring disgrace to my family   And he stole my only daughter, all part of his plan   And if you don't hang him I will quit the land"      But the daughter is crying and begging is she   "The fault isn't Jamie's the blame lies with me   I forced him to leave and run away with me   And I'll die if I can't save my bold Jamie"      "Good Lord he has stole all her jewels and her rings   Gold watches and amber, all my precious things   And it costs me a fortune in thousands of pounds   And I'll take the life of Jamie before I lie in the ground      "Good Lord I gave them as a token of love   An when we are parted I'll have them removed   But a true lovers token wear on your right hand   And think of me darling when you're in a foreign land"
