I doubt seriously that what I found is anywhere close to what you are looking for - but here it is. There is a song in "Genuine Scottish Melodies" (circa 1900) that is to be sung to the tune The Highland (or Black) Watch. It is I Shall Return Again and begins I would not have thee dry the tear that dims thine yee of blue...

If this is anything close, let me know. Generally my stuff from old songbooks is nothing like what people are looking for from modern CDs... oh well...
