I copied this poem/song below from a Burns site. If that's the one you are looking for, thank HÃ¥vard, for I wouldn't have recognised the line. Wolfgang By yon castle wa' at the close of the day, I heard a man sing tho' his head was grey; And as he was singing the tears down came, There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. - The Church is in ruins, the State is in jars, Delusions, oppressions, and murderous wars: We dare na weel say 't, but we ken wha 's to blame, There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. - My seven braw sons for Jamie drew sword, And now I greet round their green beds in the yerd; It brak the sweet heart of my faithfu' auld Dame, There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. - Now life is a burden that bows me down, Sin I tint my bairns, and he tint his crown; But till my last moments my words are the same, There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. -
