Duhks - The Trooper And The Maid lyrics

A trooper lad came here at night with riding he was weary, a trooper lad came here at night, when the moon shone bright and clearly She's taken the trooper by the hand And led him to her chamber She's given him cheese and wine to drink And the wine it falls like ember La**ie, Ill lie near you yet, Bonnie la**ie, I'll lie near you, And I'll gar all your ribbons reel In the morning air I'll leave you She's made her bed both long and wide And made it like a lady She's taken her coatie over her head saying trooper are you ready? They hadn't been, but an hour in bed, But an hour at a quarter, When drums came beating down the street And every beat was shorter La**ie, Ill lie near you yet, Bonnie la**ie, I'll lie near you, And I'll gar all your ribbons reel In the morning air I'll leave you La**ie I maun leavin' you Bonnie la**ie I maun leave you, When heather cows grow ousen bows, and I'll come back and see you Shes taken her coatie over her head, and followed him up to Stirling She grown sae fu and she couldn't a boo, and they left her in Dunferniline Bonnie la**ie, Ill lie near you yet, Bonnie la**ie, I'll lie near you, And I'll gar all your ribbons reel In the morning air I'll leave you Bonnie la**ie, Ill lie near you yet, Bonnie la**ie, I'll lie near you, And I'll gar all your ribbons reel In the morning air I'll leave you Bonnie la**ie, Ill lie near you yet, Bonnie la**ie, I'll lie near you, And I'll gar all your ribbons reel In the morning air I'll leave you
