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 1
