Bonny Lass in a Barrack

He. OH bonny lass will you lay in a barrack? Oh bonny lass will you lay in a barrack? Oh bonny lass will you lay in a barrack? And marry a soldier, and carry his wallet?

She. O yes I will go, and I'll think no more on it, I'll marry a soldier and carry his wallet; I'll neither ask leave of my mother or daddy, But off, and away with my soldier laddie.

He. But oh bonny lass! can you go a campaining, And bear the fatigue of a battle and famine? When weary and fainting, oh! would you be near me? If sick, or if wounded thy presence would cheer me.

She. Oh! yes I can bear all the hardships you mention, And twenty times more of you had but invention. If weary and fainting I'd ever be near thee; In pain or in sickness my presence should cheer thee.
