Battle Of Waterloo |
| Spring comes to Kirrie, all the world’s in bloom |
| Winter is forgiven now, fooled by April’s broom |
| Kirrie, oh Kirrie, you were aye my hame |
| 'Til Napoleon’s bloody cannon hit their aim |
| Jeanie, oh Jeanie, I am surely done |
| Stricken down in battle at the mooth o' Boney’s guns |
| Jeanie, oh Jeanie, aye sae dear tae me |
| Let me hold you in my mind afore I dee |
| For the cold returns in autumn when the wind rakes the trees |
| And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves |
| As winter begins aye mind Boney, it wasn’t only you |
| Who was broken on the field of Waterloo |
| Surgeon, oh surgeon, leave me wi' my pain |
| Save your knife for others who will surely rise again |
| Surgeon, oh surgeon, leave my blood to pour |
| Let it drain into the bitter clay once more |
| Daughter, oh daughter, listen dear tae me |
| Never wed a sodger, or a widow you will be |
| Daughter, oh daughter, curse your lad to die |
| 'Ere he catches the recruitin' sergeant’s eye |
| Boney, oh Boney, war was aye your game |
| Bloody field your table, cannon yours to aim |
| Boney, oh Boney, we aye lived the same |
| Drillin' laddies not to fear the muskets' flame |
