Bonnie Woodgreen (Live)

歌詞

Down among the green bushes in bonny Wood Green Where me and my true love we oft times were seen Ah, the years they rolled by and so happy were we For twas little she knew that a soldier I'd be It was early one morning and the lambs they did play I went to Kells barracks and then made my way To enlist as a soldier and to fight for the King To uphold a good cause I left bonny Wood Green Oh, bonny Wood Green, bonny Wood Green To uphold a good cause I left bonny Wood Green And soon we were ordered away o'er the foam For soldiers were needed for to fight for their home I kissed my love Nell, she appeared like the Queen And softly she whispered, "Remember Wood Green" Remember Wood Green, remember Wood Green And softly she whispered, "Remember Wood Green" It was way out in Flanders at the back of the line We were talking of sweethearts that we'd left behind Said one Irish soldier, "Well, I've got a queen" And she works in John Rosses in bonny Wood Green In bonny Wood Green, in bonny Wood Green And she works in John Rosses in bonny Wood Green It was early next morning when the sun was still low And the bullets were flying and he was laid low He turned to his mates in a terrible scene He said, "Kiss my love Nell and remember Wood Green" Oh, remember Wood Green, remember Wood Green Oh, kiss my love Nell and remember Wood Green So if ever to Ireland you happen to stray There's a neat litte factory near Ballymacveigh Where the weavers and the winders are faint to be seen For they all wear white aprons round bonny Wood Green Round bonny Wood Green, round bonny Wood Green For they all wear white aprons round bonny Wood Green
