Lyrics

Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain When Boney commanded his armies to stand And proud lift his banners all gayly and grand He levelled his cannons right over the plain And my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go 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 some small bird and had wings and could Fly I would fly over the salt sea where my true love does Lie Three years and six months now, since he left this Bright shore Oh, my bonny light horseman will I never see you more? Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain And the dove she laments for her mate as she flies "Oh, where, tell me where is my true love?" she sighs "And where in this wide world is there one to compare With my bonny light horseman who was killed in the War?" Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
