The bonny light horseman

Broken-hearted I'll wander
For the loss of my lover
He is my bonny light horseman
In the wars he was slain

When Boney commanded his armies to stand
He leveled his cannon right over the land
He leveled his cannon his victory to gain
And slew my light horseman on the way coming in

Chorus:
Broken-hearted I'll wander
Broken-hearted I'll remain
Since my bonny light horseman
In the wars he was slain

And if I was a small bird and had wings to fly
I would fly o'er the salt seas to where my love does lie
And with my fond wings I'd beat over his grave
And kiss the pale lips that lie cold in the clay

(Chorus)

Well, the dove, she laments for her mate as she flies
"Tell me where, tell me where is my true love," she cries
And where in this wide world is there one to compare
With my bonny light horseman who was slain in the war

(Chorus)

When Boney commanded his armies to stand
He leveled his cannon right over the land
He leveled his cannon his victory to gain
And slew my light horseman on the way coming in

Broken-hearted I'll wander
For the loss of my lover
He is my bonny light horseman
In the wars he was slain
