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, I'll lie near ye yet
Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near ye
And I'll gar all
your ribbons reel
In the morning eer I leave ye
She's taken his good horse by the
head
And led him to the stable
She's given him corn and hay to eat
As muckle as he
was able
She's taken the trooper by the hand
And led him to her chamber
She's
given him a stoop of the wine to drink
And his love it flared like tinder
She's made
her bed both broad and long
She's made it like a lady
She's taken her nitegown over her
head
Saying soldier are you ready
He's taken off his belted coat
Likewise his
hat and feather
He's leaned his sword against the door
And now he's down aside
her
They had not been in bed an hour
An hour but scarce a quarter
When the
drums came sounding up the street
And ilka 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
She's taken her coatie over her head
She's followed him
up to Stirling
She grew so full that she couldn't bow
And he left her in
Dunferline
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 and see ye
