The Trooper And The Maid Lyrics - Your Daughters & Your Sons - Duhks

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 

Lassie, Ill lie near you yet, 

Bonnie lassie, 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 

Lassie, Ill lie near you yet, 

Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near you, 

And I'll gar all your ribbons reel 

In the morning air I'll leave you 

Lassie I maun leavin' you 

Bonnie lassie 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 lassie, Ill lie near you yet, 

Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near you, 

And I'll gar all your ribbons reel 

In the morning air I'll leave you 

Bonnie lassie, Ill lie near you yet, 

Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near you, 

And I'll gar all your ribbons reel 

In the morning air I'll leave you 

Bonnie lassie, Ill lie near you yet, 

Bonnie lassie, I'll lie near you, 

And I'll gar all your ribbons reel 

In the morning air I'll leave you
