Bloody Waterloo |
A lassie she was walkin' |
Along the banks of Clyde |
A tear run doon her rosie cheeks |
As I walked by her side |
I saw her bosom heavin' |
Her voice was sweet and low |
She was weepin' for her Willie lad |
That sailed for Waterloo |
A soldier he was passin' |
He did the fair maid spy |
He said «My love, what ails ye |
Your bosom heavin' high?» |
«I lost my ain' dear Willie, |
The lad that I love true! |
I hav’ne seen my Willie since |
He sailed for Waterloo!» |
«What were the marks your Willie wore?» |
The soldier did inquire |
«He wore a hie’land bonnet, |
His feather standin' high! |
His broad claymore was by his side, |
And his dark suit sae true! |
These were the marks ma' Willie wore |
When he sailed for Waterloo.» |
«I was your Willie’s comrade! |
I saw your Willie die! |
Six bayonnet wounds were in his side, |
Afore he doon-ward lie! |
Then flingin' up his arms he cried, |
'Some Frenchmans slain me noo!' |
It was I that closed your Willie’s eyes, |
On bloody Waterloo!» |
«Oh Willie, dearest Willie!» |
Then she could say no more |
She flew intae the soldier’s arms |
And thus the tidings bore |
«Death, open wide your gaping jaws, |
And swallow me up too! |
For my Willie lies among the slain, |
On bloody Waterloo!» |
«Stand up, my fairest maiden! |
Stand up!» |
And then he frowned |
Then flingin' up his arms and |
His tartans they hung doon |
His broad claymore was by his side |
And his dark suit sae true |
«I am yer ain' dear Willie lad, |
Just back frae Waterloo!» |
«Stand up, my fairest maiden! |
Stand up!» |
And then he frowned |
Then flingin' off his grey grey coat |
His tartans they hung doon |
«Since we have met, |
We ne’er will part! |
Till death do us divide! |
And hand in hand, in wedlock band, |
We’ll walk the banks of Clyde!» |
«By hand in hand, in wedlock band, |
We’ll walk the banks of Clyde!» |
