Jamie Come Try Me

Tune--"_Jamy, come try me._"
[Burns in these verses caught up the starting note of an old song, of
which little more than the starting words deserve to be remembered:
the word and air are in the Musical Museum.]

CHORUS.
    Jamie, come try me,
    Jamie, come try me;
    If thou would win my love,
    Jamie, come try me.
I.
    If thou should ask my love,
      Could I deny thee?
    If thou would win my love,
      Jamie, come try me.
II.
    If thou should kiss me, love,
      Wha could espy thee?
    If thou wad be my love,
      Jamie, come try me.
        Jamie, come try me,
        Jamie, come try me;
        If thou would win my love,
        Jamie, come try me.
