Oh, what is Jennie weeping for,
A-weeping for, a-weeping for?
Oh, what is Jennie weeping for,
All on this summer’s day?

I’m weeping for my own true love,
My own true love, my own true love;
I’m weeping for my own true love,
All on this summer’s day.

Rise up and choose another love,
Another love, another love;
Rise up and choose another love,
All on this summer’s day.

—Berwickshire (A. M. Bell, Antiquary, xxx. 16).
