The Trooper and The Maid

歌詞

A soldier lad cam here at night With riding he was weary A soldier lad cam here at night And the moon was shining clearly Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near ye yet Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near ye I'll gar a' your ribbons reel In the morning ere I leave ye She's ta'en the trooper by the hand And led him to her chamber Gi'en him a soup for the gael tonight And her love it blazed like amber Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near ye yet Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near ye I'll gar a' your ribbons reel In the morning ere I leave ye And when will you come back again My angel soldier laddie And when will you come back again And be your bairnie's daddy She's taken off her petticoat And followed him up to Stirling She grew sae fu' that she couldnae boo And he left her in Dunfermline Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near ye yet Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near ye I'll gar a' your ribbons reel In the morning ere I leave ye
