Bonny Light Horseman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You maidens and widows I pray give attention
To these few lines I'm going to mention
Well, here's a maid in distraction, she's now going to wander
And she relies on George the king for the loss of her lover

[Chorus]
Broken-hearted I'll wander for the loss of my lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain

[Verse 2]
Now for three long years and six months since he left England's shore
My bonny light horseman I'll never see no more
And when he's mounted on the horseback, oh so gallant and brave
And among all the soldiers respected he was

[Chorus]
Broken-hearted I'll wander for the loss of my lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain

[Verse 3]
Now see how she does lament for the loss of her mate
Oh, where will I wander my true love, she says
For there's no mortal a-breathing my favour shall gain
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain

[Chorus]
Broken-hearted I'll wander for the loss of my lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain

[Verse 4]
Now if I had the wings of an eagle up in the air I would fly
And fly o'er the fields where my true love does lie
And with these fond wings I'd spread aside his grave
And then kiss the cold lips that lie cold in the grave

[Chorus]
Broken-hearted I'll wander for the loss of my lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain

[Verse 5]
Now when Boney commanded his troops how to stand
And proud flew the banners, oh so gaily and grand
He's fixed up his cannon the victory to gain
But my bonny light horseman in the war he was slain

[Chorus]
Broken-hearted I'll wander for the loss of my lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain
