BATTLE OF WATERLOO
(Words, Jim Malcolm; tune, traditional.)

Spring comes tae Kirrie. A' the world's in bloom.
Winter is forgiven now, fooled by April's broom.
Kirrie, O Kirrie, you were aye my hame
Till Napoleon's bloody cannon hit their aim.

Jeanie, O Jeanie, I am surely done,
Stricken down in battle at the mooth o' Boney's gun.
Jeanie, O Jeanie, aye sae dear tae me,
Let me hold you in my mind afore I dee.

CHORUS:
For the cold returns in autumn when the wind rakes the trees,
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves.
As winter begins, aye mind, Boney, it wasn't only you
Who was broken on the fields of Waterloo.

Surgeon, O surgeon, leave me tae my pain.
Save your knife for others who will surely rise again.
Surgeon, O surgeon, leave my blood to pour.
Let it drain into the bitter clay once more. CHORUS

Daughter, O daughter, listen dear tae me:
Never wed a sodger, or a widow you will be.
Daughter, O daughter, curse your lad to die
Ere he catches the recruitin' sergeant's eye. CHORUS

Boney, O Boney, war was aye your game,
Bloody field your table, cannon yours to aim.
Boney, O Boney, we aye lived the same,
Drillin' laddies not to fear the muskets' flame. CHORUS

[As sung by Jim Malcolm on his solo album "Live in Glenfarg."]
