Battle of Waterloo

歌詞

Spring comes to Kirrie, all the world's in bloom Winter is forgiven now, fooled by April's broom Kirrie, oh Kirrie, ye were aye my hame 'Til Napoleon's bloody cannon hit their aim For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves When winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you Who was broken on the field of Waterloo Surgeon, oh surgeon, leave me wi' my pain Save your knife for others who will surely rise again Surgeon, oh surgeon, leave my blood to pour Let it drain into the bitter clay once more For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves When winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you Who was broken on the field of Waterloo Daughter, oh daughter, listen dear tae me Never wed a sodger, or a widow you will be Daughter, oh daughter, curse your lad to die 'Ere he catches the recruitin' sergeant's eye For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves When winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you Who was broken on the field of Waterloo Boney, oh Boney, war was aye your game Bloody field your table, cannon yours to aim Boney, oh Boney, we aye lived the same Drillin' laddies not to fear the muskets' flame For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves When winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you Who was broken on the field of Waterloo For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves When winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
