Bonny Light Horseman (feat. Lewis James)

All you wives, maids and widows, attention I pray
For my poor heart is breaking for my love far away
Three years and six months since he left England's shore
Oh my bonny light horseman, will I ne'er see you more

Broken hearted I wander, all for my true lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars has been slain

You should see my light horseman on a cold winter's day
With his red rosy cheeks and his hair like the hay
He's a mountain on horseback, the victory to gain
And he's gone o'er the water from England to Spain

Broken hearted I wander, all for my true lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars has been slain

Well now Bonaparte he has commanded his troops for to stand
And he's levelled up his canon all over the land
Yes he's levelled his canon, the victory to gain
And he slew my light horseman, returning from Spain

Broken hearted I wander, all for my true lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars has been slain

Now if I was a blackbird and had wings for to fly
I'd go straight to my true love and there would I lie
Oh his wounds I would heal and I'd there take my rest
Oh my bonny light horseman, you're the one I love best

Broken hearted I wander, all for my true lover
He's the bonny light horseman, in the wars has been slain
