Letra de The Light Dragoon de Norma Waterson

A light dragoon came over the hill
when the moon was shining clearly
well there was a little lady and she knew him by his horse
because she loves him dearly
chorus:
dearly, oh dearly
well there was a little lady and she knew him by his horse
because she loves him dearly
She's grabbed him by the nearside rein
she has taken him to the stable
here is hay and corn for your horse, young man
he can eat now he is able
And she taken him by the lily-white hand
led him to the table
here is cakes and wine for you, my dear
to drink now you are able
She took the bottle into her hand
poured out the wine so clearly
here's an health to yours and to mine, she says
and you're welcome home, my dearie
And she ran upstairs for to make his bed
make it soft and comfy
how nimble she jumped into the bed
for to see if it was easy
But the light dragoon he ran upstairs
put his trousers on the table
how nimble he jumped into the bed
for to do what he was able
They laid in bed and the clock struck one
trumpets they was a-sounding
her spirits they were high and her belly it was low
and she ran home to her mammy
Oh where've you been all this live-long night
inquired her anxious parents
i've been along with the light dragoon
because i loves him dearly
