Bonnie Light Horseman

When Boney he commanded his army to stand

He leveled his cannon all over the land

He leveled his cannon his victory to claim

And he slew my light horseman on his way going haim

So broken hearted I will wander, broken hearted I'll remain

For the loss of my lover, in the wars he was slain

Broken hearted I will wander, broken hearted I'll remain

He is my bonnie light horseman, in the wars he was slain

Three years and six months since he left England's shore

My bonnie light horseman, now I'll ne'er see him more

He'd mounted on horseback, so gallant and gay

And among the whole regiment respected was he

So broken hearted I will wander, broken hearted I'll remain

For the loss of my lover, in the wars he was slain

Broken hearted I will wander, broken hearted I'll remain

He is my bonnie light horseman, in the wars he was slain

O, and if I were a small bird and had wings to fly

I would fly o'er the salt seas to where my love doth lie

And there with fond wings I would beat o'er the grave

And I'd kiss the pale lips lying cold in the clay

So broken hearted I will wander, broken hearted I'll remain

For the loss of my lover, in the wars he was slain

Broken hearted I will wander, broken hearted I'll remain

He is my bonnie light horseman, in the wars he was slain

The dove she laments for her mate as she flies

'O, where tell me where is my darling,' she cries

'And where in this wide world is there one to compare

To my bonnie light horseman who was lost in the war?'

So broken hearted I will wander, broken hearted I'll remain

For the loss of my lover, in the wars he was slain

Broken hearted I will wander, broken hearted I'll remain

He is my bonnie light horseman, in the wars he was slain
