This is Cunningham's version, but see the above version for comparison.

From Sir Marmaduke Maxwell, a Dramatic Poem; The Mermaid of Galloway; The Legend of Richard Faulder; and Twenty Scottish Songs by Allan Cunningham (London: Taylor and Hessey, 1822), page 176:


MY AIN COUNTREE.

        1.
The sun rises bright in France,
    And fair sets he;
But he has tint the blythe blink he had
    In my ain countree.
O! gladness comes to many,
    But sorrow comes to me,
As I look o'er the wide ocean
    To my ain countree.

        2.
O! it's not my ain ruin
    That saddens aye my ee,
But the love I left in Galloway,
    Wi' bonnie bairns three;
My hamely hearth burn'd bonnie,
    And smiled my fair Marie,—
I've left a' my heart behind me,
    In my ain countree.

        3.
The bud comes back to summer,
    An' the blossom to the bee,
But I win back—oh never!
    To my ain countree.
I'm leal to the high heaven,
    Which will be leal to me;
An' there I'll meet ye a' soon,
    Frae my ain countree.
