BONNY MALLY STEWART.
The cold weather is past and gone,
and now comes on the spring.
And I am one king's life-guards,
and I must go fight for my king, my dear,
and I must go fight for my king.
Now since to the wars you must go,
one thing I pray grant me
It's I will dress myself in man's attire.
and I'll travel along with thee, my dear,
and I'll travel along with thee.
I would not for ten thousand worlds
that my love endangered were;
The rattling of drums and shining of sword
will cause great sorrow and wo, my dear
will cause great sorrow and wo.
I will do the thing for my true love,
that she will not do-for me;
It's I'll put cuffs of black on my red coat,
and mourn till the day I die, my dear.
and mourn till the day I die.
