Lyrics:
O gin I were where Helen lies,
Where, night and day, on me she cries.
O gin I were where Helen lies,
On fair Kirkconnell lea.
Curst be the mind that laid the plot;
Curst be the hand that fired the shot
That to my arms fair Helen brought
To die for love o’ me.
An’ think ye know my heart was sore
To see her lie and speak nae more.
There did she woon wi’ mickle care
On fair Kirkconnell lea.
O Helen rare, beyond compare,
I’ll make a garland of your hair;
’Twill bind my heart forever more
Until the day I die.
I wish my grave was growin’ green,
And a windin’ sheet drawn o’er my een,
And I in Helen’s arms was lain,
Who died for love o’ me.
O gin I were where Helen lies,
For night and day on me she cries.
And I am weary of the skies
On fair Kirkconnell lea.
