about

A traditional from the Irish music repertoire.
Sad enough this kind of song always stays true somewhere around the world.

lyrics

Bonny Light Horseman (traditional)

When Boney commanded his armies to stand

He leveled his cannons right over the land

He leveled his cannons right over the plain

And he slew my light horseman on his way back from Spain

Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain


And the dove she laments for her mate as she flies
"Oh, where, tell me where is my true love?" she cries
"And where in this wide world is there one to compare
With my bonny light horseman who was slain in the war?"


Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain


Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
Three years and six months, since he left this bright shore
Oh, my bonny light horsemen will I never see more


Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
