When Bonaparte he commanded his troops far to stand,
And he planted [G] his [F] cannons all over the land.
[Dm] He planted his cannons, the whole victory [F] to gain,
And they killed my young horseman, [C]
returning [Em] from [G] Spain.
Broken-hearted I wonder for the loss of my [F] lover,
He's my [Bb] bonnie, nighty [F]
horseman, in the [C] words he was saying.
If you saw my love on century, on a cold [Gm]
[F] winter's day,
With his red [G] rosy cheeks and his flowing brown hair,
All mounted on horseback, the whole victory to [Dm] gain,
[G] And it's on the battlefield, great on the gain.
Broken [F]
-hearted I wonder for the loss of my lover,
[G]
He's my bonnie, nighty horseman, in the words he was saying.
If I were a [F] blackbird and had wings to fly,
I would fly to [Dm] the [G] spot where my true love does lie,
And with my little fluttering wings his wounds I would [Bb] heal,
And it's all [G] of the night on his breast [C] I'd remain.
Broken [F]-hearted [Eb] I [G]
wonder for the loss of my lover,
He's my bonnie, nighty horseman, in the words he was saying.
Oh bonnie, oh bonnie, I've done you no harm,
So [F] why tell me, why have you caused this alarm?
We [Dm] were happy together, my true love and me,
[A] But now you have stretched him in his death over the [C] sea.
Broken [G]-hearted I wonder for the loss of my lover,
He's my bonnie, nighty horseman, in the words he was
