[Verse 1]
Spring comes tae Kirrie
Aw the world's in bloom
Winter is forgiven now
Fooled by April's broom
Kirrie, oh Kirrie
You were aye my hame
'Til Napoleon's bloody cannon hit their aim

[Verse 2]
Jeanie, oh, Jeanie
I am surely done
Stricken down in battle
At the mooth o Boney's guns
Jeanie, oh, Jeanie
Aye sae dear tae me
Let me hold you in my mind before I dee

[Chorus]
For the cold returns in autumn
When the wind rakеs the trees
And the summer liеs forgotten
In a cold bed of leaves
As winter begins, aye mind Boney
It wasn't only you
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
[Verse 3]
Surgeon, oh, surgeon
Leave me wae my pain
Save your knife for others
Who will surely rise again
Surgeon, oh, surgeon
Leave ma blood to pour
Let it drain into the bitter clay once more

[Chorus]
For the cold returns in autumn
When the wind rakes the trees
And the summer lies forgotten
In a cold bed of leaves
As winter begins, aye mind Boney
It wasn't only you
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo

[Verse 4]
Daughter, oh, daughter
Listen, dear, tae me
Never wed a sodger
Or a widow you will be
Daughter, oh daughter
Curse your lad to die
E'er he catches the recruitin' sergeant's eye
[Chorus]
For the cold returns in autumn
When the wind rakes the trees
And the summer lies forgotten
In a cold bed of leaves
As winter begins, aye mind Boney
It wasn't only you
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo

[Verse 5]
Boney, oh, Boney
War was aye your game
Bloody field your table
Cannon yours to aim
Boney, oh, Boney
We aye live the same
Drillin' laddies not to fear the muskets' flame

[Chorus]
For the cold returns in autumn
When the wind rakes the trees
And the summer lies forgotten
In a cold bed of leaves
As winter begins, aye mind Boney
It wasn't only you
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
For the cold returns in autumn
When the wind rakes the trees
And the summer lies forgotten
In a cold bed of leaves
As winter begins, aye mind Boney
It wasn't only you
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
