The Light Dragoon Lyrics by Malinky

Last Leaves

0

A light dragoon came over the hill
When the moon was shining clearly
There was a little lady and she knew him by his horse
Because she loved him dearly, dearly, so dearly
There was a little lady and she knew him by his horse
Because she loved him dearly
She's taken him by the nearside rein
Led him to the stable
"Here's corn and hay for your horse, young man
He can eat while he is able, able, so able
Here's corn and hay for your horse, young man
He can eat while he is able"
She's taken him by the lily-white hand
Led him to the table
"It's cakes and wine for you, my dear
You can drink while you are able, able, so able
It's cakes and wine for you, my dear
You can drink while you are able"
She's gone upstairs to make his bed
Make it soft and comfy
So nimble she's jumped into the bed
To see if it was easy, easy, so easy
So nimble she's jumped into the bed
To see if it was easy
The light dragoon has come upstairs
And put his trousers on the table
So nimble he's jumped into the bed
To do what he was able, able, so able
So nimble he's jumped into the bed
To do what he was able
They've played upstairs 'til the clock struck one
And the trumpets, they were sounding
Her spirits, they were high and her belly, it was low
An' she run home to her mammy, mammy, her mammy
Her spirits, they were high and her belly, it was low
An' she run home to her mammy
"Oh where have you been all the livelong night?"
Enquired her anxious parents
"I've been alone with the light dragoon
Because I love him dearly, dearly, so dearly
I've been alone with the light dragoon
Because I love him dearly"
A light dragoon came over the hill
When the moon was shining clearly
There was a little lady and she knew him by his horse
Because she loved him dearly, dearly, so dearly
There was a little lady and she knew him by his horse
Because she loved him dearly
