[Verse 1]
Dm            C            Am           C
By yon Castle wa', at the close of the day,
Dm            C         Dm          C   Dm
I heard a man sing tho' his head it was grey;
F                          C          Am
And as he was singing, the tears doon came,
Dm                Am    
There'll never be peace 
      Dm   C     Dm
till Jamie comes hame.
 
[Verse 2]
Dm               C      
The Church is in ruins, 
     Am          C
the State is in jars,
Dm         C            
Delusions, oppressions, 
    Dm    C   Dm
and murderous wars:
F                      
We dare na weel say't, 
       C            Am
but we ken wha's to blame,
Dm                Am    
There'll never be peace 
      Dm   C     Dm
till Jamie comes hame.
 
[Verse 3]
Dm            C   
My seven braw sons 
     Am         C
for Jamie drew sword,
Dm              C     
But now I greet round 
      Dm            C   Dm
their green beds in the yerd;
F                       
It brak the sweet heart 
      C             Am
o' my faithful auld Dame,
Dm                Am    
There'll never be peace 
      Dm   C     Dm
till Jamie comes hame.
 
[Verse 4]
Dm            C      
Now life is a burden 
     Am      C
that bows me down,
Dm            C       
Sin I tint my bairns, 
       Dm   C   Dm
and he tint his crown;
F                        
But till my last moments 
   C             Am
my words are the same,
Dm                Am    
There'll never be peace 
      Dm   C     Dm
till Jamie comes hame.
