When Boney he commanded his army to stand
He levelled his cannon all over the land
He levelled his cannon his victory to claim
And he slew my light Horseman on his way going haim
So broken-heated I will wander, broken-heated I'll 
remain
For the loss of my lover, in the wars he was slain
Broken-hearted I will wander, broken-heated I'll remain
He is my Bonnie Light Horseman, in the wars he was 
slain
The dame she laments for her man she will fly
Oh where, tell me where is my darling she cries
And where in this wide world is there one to compare
To my Bonnie Light Horseman who was lost in the war
So broken-hearted I will wander, broken-hearted I'll 
remain
For the loss of my lover, in the wars he was slain
Broken-hearted I will wander, broken-heated I'll remain
He is my Bonnie Light Horseman, in the wars he was 
slain
Oh and if I were a small bird and had wings to fly
I would fly o'er the salt seas to where my love doth 
lie
And with my fond wings I'll beat over the grave
And I'd kiss the pale lips laying cold in the clay
So broken-hearted I will wander, broken-hearted I'll 
remain
For the loss of my lover, in the wars he was slain
Broken-hearted I will wander, broken-hearted I'll 
remain
He was my Bonnie Light Horseman, in the wars he was 
slain
