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
