Andy Irvine - Bonny Woodhall lyrics



Down by yon green bushes
Near Calder's clear spring
Where me and my Annie
So often have been
When the hours that flew past us
Bright happy were we
It was little she thought that
A soldier I'd be

But its farewell to Annie
And I must away
For the King he needs soldiers
I must obey
But if providence proves kind, love
Until I return
I will wed with my Annie near Calder's clear burren

On the 14th of August
Our regiment was lost
And a ball from the enemy
Our lines came across
Oh it struck me in the temple
And the blood trickled down
I kneeled and I staggered
And I fell to the ground

Come here, says our Captain
Come here with good speed
For I fear by this bullet
Young Dinsmore lies dead
Two men with a stretcher
Did quickly prepare
And they carried me away to
A hospital bed

Cold water and brandy
They poured out so free
They turned me all over
My wounds for to see
But if I had my Annie
To bind up my wounds
One kiss from her sweet lips
Would soon deaden the stoon

And its when I am weary
And think on Langsine
When I was a miner
And wrought in the mine
Oh the tears they do trickle
And down they do fall
Like the roses that bloometh
Round Bonny Woodhall
