frank harte - lonely waterloo lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a lady fair went walking down by a riverside
the crystal tears fell from her eye as i walked by her side
then from her trembling bosom, these words she spoke so true
saying, “friend, i fear my william’s slain at lonely waterloo”

[verse 2]
“what were the clothes your william wore?” a soldier did reply
“he wore the highland bonnet with the feather standing high
a broad bright sword hung by his side, o’er his dark suit of blue
those wеre the clothes my william worе, at lonely waterloo”

[verse 3]
“if those were the clothes your william wore, i saw his dying day
when the bayonet pierced his tender breast, as on the ground he lay
he reached me out his dying hand, a frenchman had him slew
it was i what closed your william’s eyes, at lonely waterloo”

[verse 4]
“oh, willie dearest willie”, and she could say no more
she threw herself down on her knees, as i those tidings bore
“had i the wings of a little bird, it’s straightway i would fly
i would fly to lonely waterloo, where my true love does lie”

[verse 5]
“i’d light on my love’s bosom, my sorrow to remove
i’d kiss my william’s clay cold lips, as a token of true love
a single maiden i’ll remain, to none i will prove true
since my william lies with sightless eyes, on lonely waterloo”
