Fly we to some desert isle
There we'll pass our days together
Shun the world's derisive smile
Wand'ring tenants of the heather
Sheltered in some lonely glen
Far removed from mortal ken
Forget the weary ways of men
Nor feel a wish beyond each other
Though my friends deride me still
Jamie I'll disown thee never
Let them scorn me as they will
I'll be thine and thine forever
What are all my kin to me
What their pride and pedigree
What were life if wanting thee
And what were death if we must sever
Fly we to some desert isle
There we'll pass our days together
Shun the world's derisive smile
Wand'ring tenants of the heather
Sheltered in some lonely glen
Far removed from mortal ken
Forget the weary ways of men
Nor feel a wish beyond each other
Though my friends deride me still
Jamie I'll disown thee never
Let them scorn me as they will
I'll be thine and thine forever
What are all my kin to me
What their pride and pedigree
What were life if wanting thee
And what were death if we must sever
