[Verse]
Gm
A soldier lad came here last night
F
with riding he was weary
Gm Dm
A soldier lad came here last night
Bb C
and the moon was shining clearly
[Chorus]
Gm
Bonnie lassie will you gang with me
F
Bonnie lass, will you lie near me
Gm Dm
I'll get all your ribbons reel
Bb C Gm
In the morning ere I leave ye
[Instrumental]
Bb F Eb Dm Gm
[Verse]
Gm
She takes the trooper by the hand
F
and leads him to her chamber
Gm Dm
She's given him some wine to drink
Bb C Gm
and his live it flared like tinder
[Chorus]
Gm
Bonnie lassie will you gang with me
F
Bonnie lass, will you lie near me
Gm Dm
I'll get all your ribbons reel
Bb C Gm
In the morning ere I leave ye
[Instrumental]
Bb F Eb Dm Gm
[Verse]
Gm
They had not been in bed an hour
F
an hour but scarce a quarter
Gm Dm
When the drums came sounding up the street
Bb C Gm
and then the beat was shorter
[Bridge]
Gm
For its up, up, up, our colonel cried
F
its up up up and away, then
Gm Dm
and its up, up, up, our colonel cried
Bb C Gm
the morn's our battle day then
[Chorus]
Gm
Bonnie lassie will you gang with me
F
Bonnie lass, will you lie near me
Gm Dm
I'll get all your ribbons reel
Bb C Gm
In the morning ere I leave ye
[Instrumental]
Bb F Eb Dm Gm
[Verse]
Gm
Its when will you come back again
F
my own dear soldier laddie
Gm Dm
when will you come back again
Bb C
and be your bairnie's daddy
Gm
Oh hold your tongue my bonnie wee lass
F
never let this parting grieve thee
Gm Dm
when heather cows grow oxen bows
Bb C
bonnie lassie ill come see ye
[Chorus]
Gm
Bonnie lassie will you gang with me
F
Bonnie lass, will you lie near me
Gm Dm
I'll get all your ribbons reel
Bb C Gm
In the morning ere I leave ye
Gm
Bonnie lassie will you gang with me
F
Bonnie lass, will you lie near me
Gm Dm
I'll get all your ribbons reel
Bb C Gm
In the morning ere I leave ye
[Outro]
