Trooper and the Maid - Sean Dagher, David Gossage, Nelson Carter

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
