O gentle peace return again,
Bring Jockey to my arms,
Frae dangers on the raging main,
Frae cruel war’s alarms.
Gin e‘er we meet, nae mair we‘ll part,
As land s we‘ve breath to draw,
Nae mair I‘ll sing wi‘ aching heart,
My Jockey‘s far awa.
My Jockey‘s, &c.

What’s this dull town to me,
Robin’s not near,
What was’t I wiſh’d to ſee,
What wiſh’d to hear
Where’s all the joy and mirth
Made this town a heav’n on earth,
Oh, they are all ſled with thee,
Robin Adair.
What made the aſſembly ſhine, Bo
What made the ball ſo fine,
Robin was there;
What when they play was o’er,
What made my heart ſo ſore,
Oh! it was parting with Robin Adair.
But now thou’rt cold to me, Robin Adair
But now thou’rt cold to me, Robin Adair
Yet him I loved ſo well,
Still in my heart ſhall dwell;
Oh! I can ne’er forget Robin Adair.
