Bonnie Light Horseman, The
Sheet Music (and more information about this song)
When Boney commanded his armies to stand,
He levelled his cannon right over the land
He levelled his cannon his victory to gain
And slew my light horseman on the way coming hame.
Chorus:
Broken-hearted I'll wander, broken-hearted I'll remain
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain.
If I was a small bird and had wings to fly
I'd fly 'cross the salt sea to where my love does lie.
And with my fond wings I'd beat over his grave,
And kiss the pale lips that lie cold in the clay.
Chorus
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 bonny light horseman who was slain in the war.
Chorus
When Boney commanded his armies to stand,
He levelled his cannon right over the land
And he levelled his cannon his victory to gain
And slew my light horseman on the way coming hame.
Chorus
