MY SOLDIER LOVE.

Sund by Miss Stephens, Miss M. Tree, and Miss Povey. Music arranged by Bishop

Leeze me on my soldier love,
⁠Bonnie laddie, soldier laddie!
Brave as lion, kind as dove,
⁠Bonnie laddie, soldier laddie!
Should he fall in battle strife,
⁠Bonnie laddie, soldier laddie!
Nane beside shall call me wife,
⁠Bonnie laddie, soldier laddie!

But if glorious from the wars,
⁠Bonnie laddie, soldier laddie!
Proud will I be of his scars,
⁠Bonnie laddie, soldier laddie!
By the sparkles of his e'e,
⁠Bonnie laddie, soldier laddie!
Nane, I ken, he lo'es but me,
⁠Bonnie laddie, soldier laddie!
