Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lassie, Ill lie near you yet,
Bonnie lassie, I’ll lie near ye,
And I’ll gar all your ribbons reel
In the morning eer I’ll leave ye<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A soldier lad came here at night
With riding he was weary,
A trooper lad came here at night,
When the moon shone bright and clearly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She’s taken the trooper by the hand
And led him to her chamber
She’s given him a stoop o’ wine to drink
And his love it flared like tinder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh’ hud yer tongue my bonnie wee lass
Ne’re let this parting grieve ye,
When heather cows grow oxen bows,
Bonnie lass I’ll come and see you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
