I Lost My Love

I lost my love and I dinna ken hoo
I lost my love and I care na
The losin' o' ane's the gainin' o' twa
I'll soon get anither I fear na.

Oh some fell on their bended knees
Some ladies fell a-fainting
I fell tae my bread and cheese
I always wanted the main thing

Oh, Jock since ever I seen your face
Jock since ever I kent ye
Jock since ever I seen your face
Dae ye mind o' the shillin' I lent ye?
