The Duhks - The Trooper And The Maid lyrics

A trooper lad came here ae night Wi' riding he was weary A trooper lad cam' here ae night When the moon shone bright and clearly She's taen the trooper by the haun And let him to her chamber She's gied him cheese and wine to drink And the wine it was like amber La**ie I'll lie near ye yet Bonnie la**ie I'll lie near ye And I'll gar all yer ribbons reel In the morning e'er I leave ye She's made her bed baith lang and wide And made it like a lady She's taen her coatie ower her heid Saying trooper are ye ready They hadnae been but an 'oor in bed An 'oor and half a quarter When drums cam' beatin doon the street And every beat was shorter La**ie I'll lie near ye yet Bonnie la**ie I'll lie near ye And I'll gar all yer ribbons reel In the morning e'er I leave ye And when will you come back again My own only soldier laddie And when will you come back again And be your bairnies daddy La**ie I maun leave ye noo Bonnie la**ie I maun leave ye When heather bells grow co*kle shells Then I'll come back and see ye She's taen her coatie over her heid And followed him up to Stirling She grew sae fu' she couldnae boo He left her in Dunfermline La**ie I'll lie near ye yet Bonnie la**ie I'll lie near ye And I'll gar all yer ribbons reel In the morning e'er I leave ye La**ie I'll lie near ye yet Bonnie la**ie I'll lie near ye And I'll gar all yer ribbons reel In the morning e'er I leave ye La**ie I'll lie near ye yet Bonnie la**ie I'll lie near ye And I'll gar all yer ribbons reel In the morning e'er I leave ye
