Bonnie Light Horseman Lyrics

When Bonnie commanded his armies to stand

he levelled his cannon all over the land

he levelled his cannon his victory to gain

and slew my light horseman on the way comin' hame.

Broken hearted I'll wander broken hearted I'll remain

since my bonnie light horseman in the wars he was slain.

If I was a small bird and had wings to fly

I'd fly oer the ocean to where my love lies

and with my fond wings I'd beat over his grave

and kiss the pale lips lieing cold in the clay.

Now the dove she laments for her mate as she flies

oh where tell me where is my darling she cries

and where in this wide world is there one to compare

with my bonnie light horseman who was slain in the wars.
