The Light Dragoon

歌詞

A light dragoon came over the hill When the moon was shining clearly There was a little lady and she knew him by his horse Because she loved him dearly, dearly, so dearly There was a little lady and she knew him by his horse Because she loved him dearly She's taken him by the nearside rein Led him to the stable "Here's corn and hay for your horse, young man He can eat while he is able, able, so able Here's corn and hay for your horse, young man He can eat while he is able" She's taken him by the lily-white hand Led him to the table "It's cakes and wine for you, my dear You can drink while you are able, able, so able It's cakes and wine for you, my dear You can drink while you are able" She's gone upstairs to make his bed Make it soft and comfy So nimble she's jumped into the bed To see if it was easy, easy, so easy So nimble she's jumped into the bed To see if it was easy The light dragoon has come upstairs And put his trousers on the table So nimble he's jumped into the bed To do what he was able, able, so able So nimble he's jumped into the bed To do what he was able They've played upstairs 'til the clock struck one And the trumpets, they were sounding Her spirits, they were high and her belly, it was low An' she run home to her mammy, mammy, her mammy Her spirits, they were high and her belly, it was low An' she run home to her mammy "Oh where have you been all the livelong night?" Enquired her anxious parents "I've been alone with the light dragoon Because I love him dearly, dearly, so dearly I've been alone with the light dragoon Because I love him dearly" A light dragoon came over the hill When the moon was shining clearly There was a little lady and she knew him by his horse Because she loved him dearly, dearly, so dearly There was a little lady and she knew him by his horse Because she loved him dearly
