[Intro]  Bb  F  Eb  Dm  Gm

  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         Gm
And the moon was shining clearly

       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

( Bb  F  Eb  Dm  Gm )

    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

       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

( Bb  F  Eb  Dm  Gm )

     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

        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

       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

( Bb  F  Eb  Dm  Gm )

    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

       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

( Bb  F  Eb  Dm  Gm )
