Lyrics
When Bonny commanded
His armies to stand
And he levelled his cannon
Right over the land
Well he levelled his cannon
His victory to gain
And slew my light horseman
On the way home from Spain
Broken-hearted I'll wander
Broken-hearted I'll remain
Since my Bonny light horseman
In the cruel war was slain
If I were a small bird
If I'd wings to fly
I'd fly across the salt sea
To where my love does lie
And with these fond wings I'd
Beat over his grave
And kiss the pale lips that
Lie cold in the clay
Broken-hearted I'll wander
Broken-hearted I'll remain
Since my Bonny light horseman
In the cruel war was slain
Now the dove she laments for
The mate as she flies
Where tell me where is
My true love she sighs
And where in this wide world
Is there one to compare
With my Bonny light horseman
Who was slain in the war
Napoleon Bonaparte
You're the cause of my woe
Since my Bonny light horseman
To the cruel war did go
Broken-hearted I'll wander
Broken-hearted I'll remain
Since my Bonny light horseman
In the cruel war was slain
