Oh, my name is Jamie Raeburn, frae 
(Glasiskatoon) I came
   F             Am          F   
My place and habitation, I'm 
                 G
forced to leave with shame

From my place and habitation, I 
Dm7      F     G
now must gang awa'

Far frae the bonnie hills and

Dm7    F        C
by the break of day
        F              Am         
We were wakened by the turnkey, 
  F           G
who unto us did say
  F               C          Dm7 
"Arise ye hapless convicts, arise
    F       G
 ye ain and a'
     F             Dm7    C      
This is the day ye are to stray

frae Caledonia"

We all arose, put on our clothes, 
     Dm7         F       C
our hearts were full a' grief
    F                  Am      
Our friends who stood around the

coach could grant us no relief
    F                  C          
Our parents, wives and 
        Dm7         F        G
sweethearts, their hearts were broke
 in twa
   F                Dm7       C  
To see us leave the hills and
