Trooper and the Maid |
| A soldier lad came here last night |
| With riding he was weary |
| A soldier lad came here last night |
| And the moon was shining clearly |
| Bonnie lassie, will you gang with me |
| Bonnie lass, will ye lie near me? |
| I’ll get all your ribbons reel |
| In the morning ere I leave ye |
| She takes the trooper by the hand |
| And leads him to her chamber |
| She’s given him some wine to drink |
| And his love it flared like tinder |
| Bonnie lassie, will you gang with me |
| Bonnie lass, will ye lie near me? |
| I’ll get all your ribbons reel |
| In the morning ere I leave ye |
| They had not been in bed an hour |
| An hour but scarce a quarter |
| But the drums sounding up the street |
| And then the beat was shorter |
| Its up, up, up, our colonel cried |
| It’s up, up, up and away, then |
| It’s up, up, up, our colonel cried |
| The morn’s our battle day then |
| Bonnie lassie, will you gang with me |
| Bonnie lass, will ye lie near me? |
| I’ll get all your ribbons reel |
| In the morning ere I leave ye |
| It’s when will you come back again |
| My own dear soldier laddie |
| When will you come back again |
| And be your bairnie’s daddy |
| Oh, hold your tongue my Bonnie wee lass |
| Never let this parting grieve thee |
| When heather cows grow oxen bows |
| Bonnie lassie I’ll come see ye |
| Bonnie lassie, will you gang with me |
| Bonnie lass, will ye lie near me? |
| I’ll get all your ribbons reel |
| In the morning ere I leave ye |
| Bonnie lassie, will you gang with me |
| Bonnie lass, will ye lie near me? |
| I’ll get all your ribbons reel |
| In the morning ere I leave ye |
