O Bonny Lass.

Printed for and sold by J. Pitts, No. 14, Great Saint Andrew Street, Seven Dials.

O BONNY lass will you lie in a bar-
rack,
O bonny lass, &c.

And marry a soldier, and carry his wallet ;
O yes I will do it, and think no more of it.
I'll marry my soldier and carry his wallet,
I'll neither spere leave of my mammy or
daddy,

But mount and away with my soger laddie
O bonny lass will you go a campaigning,
Endure all the hardships of battle and fa-
mine,

When bleeding and fainting, O could you
draw near me;

And kindly support me, and tenderly cheer
me?

O yes, I will go thro' those hardships you
mention,

And twenty times more, if you have the
invention,

Neither danger, nor death, nor battles
alarm me.

O bonny lass in the heat of the battle,
When men lay a bleeding, and cannons do
rattle,

When your soldier by enemies fierce is
assailed,

Your heart that's most tender, O sure it
will fail you?

Not it, no such danger shall ever affright
me,

To follow my soldier shall ever delight me
In battle's fierce conflict I'll closely attend
him,

And cheerfully venture my life to defend
him.
