THE BONNY LIGHT HORSEMAN / BROKEN-HEARTED I WANDERTHE BONNY LIGHT HORSEMAN
  
Well now Bonaparte, he has commanded his troops for to standOh, when Boney commanded all his troops for to stand,
And he levelled up his cannon all over the land;He's levelled his cannon all over the land,
Yes he levelled his cannon, the whole victory to gain,He's levelled his cannon for the victory to gain,
And he slew my light horseman returning from Spain.And he slew my light horseman from the wars coming home.
  
Broken-hearted I wander all for my true lover,Broken-hearted I'll wander for the loss of my lover,
He's a bonny light horseman, in the war has been slainHe's the bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain.
  
You should see my light horseman on a cold winter's day,Oh, if I was a small bird and had wings to fly,
With his red and rosy cheeks and his curly black hair.I'd fly o'er the salt sea where my true love he do lie.
He's mounted on horseback, the whole victory to gain,And with these fond wings, oh I'd beat on his grave,
And he's over the battlefield for honour and fame.I'd kiss the fond lips that lie cold in the clay.
  
Broken-hearted I wander all for my true lover,Broken-hearted I'll wander for the loss of my lover,
He's a bonny light horseman, in the war has been slainHe's the bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain.
  
All ye wives', sweethearts' and widows' attention I pray,Now the dove she laments for her mate as she flies;
For me heart it is broken and it's fading away.Where, tell me where is my true love? she cries,
I'm a maid so distracted, broken-hearted I wanderAnd where in this wide world is there one to compare,
For my bonny light horseman in the war has been slain.To my bonny light horseman who was slain in the war?
  
Broken-hearted I wander all for my true lover,Broken-hearted I'll wander for the loss of my lover,
He's a bonny light horseman, in the war has been slainHe's the bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain.
  
Now if I had have had the wings of an eagle I'd flyOh, when Boney commanded all his troops for to stand,
To my bonny light horseman and there I'd lie by,He's levelled his cannon all over the land,
And with me little fluttering wings I would build up me nest.He's levelled his cannon for the victory to gain,
Oh my bonny light horseman you're the boy I love best.And he slew my light horseman from the wars coming home.
