[F] [G] [Bb]
[G] [C]
[Bb]
[G] When Boney commanded [G] [Bb] his armies [F] to stand, He [D] leveled his cannon right [C] over [Bb] the land,
[G] And he leveled his cannon, [F] his victory to [Fm] gain,
And [Dm] slew my [C] light horsemen on the way [Bb] comin' him.
[F]
Broken [D] hearted I wander, broken [Bb] hearted [F] I remain,
Since my Boney light [C] horsemen in the war sea [Bb] were slain.
[D] [G] [C]
[Bb] [G] Now if I was [C] a small bird and had wings [Fm] to fly,
I'd fly across [C] the salt sea to where my [Bb] love is lying,
And with [G] my fond wings I'd [Bb] beat over his [F] screff,
And kiss [C] the pale lips that [C] lie cold in [Bb] the clay.
[F] Broken hearted I wander, [C]
[G] broken hearted I [Fm] remain,
Since my [D] Boney [Dm] light horsemen in the war [Bb] sea were slain.
[G] Now the dove she laments [G] for her [F] mate as [Fm] she flies,
Oh where, tell [F] me where is my [D] darling, [Bb] she cries.
[F] And where in this [G] wide world is there one [Bb] to [F] compare
With my Boney [Dm] light horsemen [C] who was slain in [Bb] the war.
[F] Broken hearted I [C] wander, broken [Bb] hearted I [Fm] remain,
Since my [G] Boney [Dm] light horsemen [C] in the war sea [Bb] were slain.
