Trooper and the Maid

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's 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 coming 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
