The deidly wars are passed and gane

Melody

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. I thocht upon the banks of Coille
I thocht upon my Nancy
I thocht upon her bewitching smile
That stole my youthful fancy.
