When Bonny command
His army to stand
He levelled his cannons
Right over the land
He levelled his cannons
Right over the plain
And my Bonny light horseman
In the wars he was slain
Oh Napoleon Bonaparte
You're the cause of my woe
Since my Bonny light horseman
To the wars he did go
Broken hearted I'll wander
Broken hearted I'll remain
Since my Bonny light horseman
In the wars he was slain
And if I was some small bird
And had wings and could fly
I would fly over the salt sea
Where my true love does lie
Three years and six months now
Since he left this bright shore
Oh my Bonny light horseman
Will I ne'er see you more
Oh Napoleon Bonaparte
You're the cause of my woe
Since my Bonny light horseman
To the wars he did go
Broken hearted I'll wander
Broken hearted I'll remain
Since my Bonny light horseman
In the wars he was slain
And the dove she laments
For her mate as she flies
Oh where tell me where
Is my true love she sighs
And where in this wide world
Is there one to compare
With my Bonny light horseman
Who was killed in the war
Oh Napoleon Bonaparte
You're the cause of my woe
Since my Bonny light horseman
To the wars he did go
Broken hearted I'll wander
Broken hearted I'll remain
Since my Bonny light horseman
In the wars he was slain
