Em7 Em
A trooper lad cam here last nicht
     Dsus2
Wi' riding he was weary
    Cmaj7
A trooper lad cam here last nicht
         Cmaj7       Dsus2       Em
When the moon shone bricht and clearly
 
Em7 Em
Bonnie lassie i lie near ye noo
        Dsus2
Bonnie lassie i lie near ye
    Cmaj7
And i’ll gar a' ye’re ribbons reel
       Cmaj7   Dsus2   Em       Em7 Em
In the morning e’re i leave ye
 
[Verse 2]
Em7 Em
She’s ta’en his fine horse by the heid
          Dsus2
And she’s led him to the stable
      Cmaj7
She’s ga’en him corn and hay tae eat
   Cmaj7   Dsus2   Em
As much as he was able
 
Em7 Em
She’s ta’en the trooper by the hand
          Dsus2
And she’s led him tae her chamber
      Cmaj7
She’s ge’en him breed and wine tae drink
        Cmaj7   Dsus2    Em     Em7 Em
And the wine it was like amber
 
[Verse 3]
Em7 Em
She’s made the bed baith lang and wide
      Dsus2
She’s made it like a lady
       Cmaj7
She’s ta’en her wee cloak ower heed
     Cmaj7   Dsus2   Em
Says trooper are ye ready?
 
Em7 Em
He’s ta’en off his big top coat
    Dsus2
Likewise his hat and feather
         Cmaj7
And he’s ta’en his broadsword frae his side
    Cmaj7    Dsus2   Em
And no he’s doon beside her

[Verse 4]
Em7 Em
They hadna been but and hour in bed
   Dsus2
An hour and half a quarter
          Cmaj7
When the drums came beating up the street
    Cmaj7 Dsus2    Em
And ilka beat was faster
 
Em7 Em
It’s up, up, up, oor colonel cried
     Dsus2
It’s up, up, up, and awa' o'
     Cmaj7
It’s up, up, up, oor colonel cried
        Cmaj7      Dsus2   Em      Em7 Em
For the morn’s oor battle day o
 
Em7 Em
She’s ta’en her wee cloak ower her heid
           Dsus2
And she’s followed him doon tae stirling
       Cmaj7
She’s grown sae fu' she couldnae move
         Cmaj7    Dsus2  Em
And they left her in dunfermlin
