The Deidly Wars Are Past And Gane lyrics

THE DEIDLY WARS ARE PAST AND GANE
For the deidly wars are passed and
gane
  and gentle peace returning
Left mony's the sweet babe
faitherless
  and mony's the widow mourning
I left the lines and the
tented field
  whaur I'm no longer a lodger
A humble knapsack, it's
a' my wealth
  I'm a poor but honest sodger
A lea-licht hert was in
my brest
   my hands unstained wi' plunder
It's all for Scotia hame
again
  I cheery on did wonder
I thocht upon the banks of Coille
  I thocht upon my Nancy
I thocht upon her bewitching smile
  that
stole my youthful fancy
Norman Kennedy gor this from Jeannie Robertson
  who thought it was Robert Burns
