[00:09.779] Woe be to the orders that took my love away
[00:19.083] And woe be to the cruel cause that bid my tears to fall
[00:28.236] Woe be to the bloody wars of high Germany
[00:37.486] They have taken my love and left a broken heart to me
[00:48.988] The drum beat in the morning before the break of day
[00:57.957] And the small wee fife played loud
[01:00.909] And clear while yet the morn was gray
[01:07.272] And I the bonny flag unfurled,'twas a gallant sight to see
[01:16.970] Woe to me,my soldier lad was marched to Germany
[01:28.207] Long,long is the traveling to the bonny pier of Leith
[01:37.180] And bleak it was to gang there with a snowstorm in your teeth
[01:46.825] And aye,the wind blew sharp and strong
[01:51.580] And a tear rose in my eyne
[01:56.337] I gang there to see my love embark for Germany
[02:08.169] As I gazed over the cruel,cruel sea for as long as could be seen
[02:17.225] The wee small sails upon the ship my own true love was in
[02:26.697] And aye,the wind blew sharp and strong
[02:31.259] And the ship sailed speedily
[02:35.894] Cruel the raging wars have torn my bonny boy from me
[02:47.797] Woe be to the orders that took my love away
[02:57.139] And woe be to the cruel cause that bid my tears to fall
[03:06.633] Woe be to the bloody wars of high Germany
[03:15.997] They have taken my love and left a broken heart to me

Woe be to the orders that took my love away
And woe be to the cruel cause that bid my tears to fall
Woe be to the bloody wars of high Germany
They have taken my love and left a broken heart to me
The drum beat in the morning before the break of day
And the small wee fife played loud
And clear while yet the morn was gray
And I the bonny flag unfurled,'twas a gallant sight to see
Woe to me,my soldier lad was marched to Germany
Long,long is the traveling to the bonny pier of Leith
And bleak it was to gang there with a snowstorm in your teeth
And aye,the wind blew sharp and strong
And a tear rose in my eyne
I gang there to see my love embark for Germany
As I gazed over the cruel,cruel sea for as long as could be seen
The wee small sails upon the ship my own true love was in
And aye,the wind blew sharp and strong
And the ship sailed speedily
Cruel the raging wars have torn my bonny boy from me
Woe be to the orders that took my love away
And woe be to the cruel cause that bid my tears to fall
Woe be to the bloody wars of high Germany
They have taken my love and left a broken heart to me
