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 |
