The Deidly Wars Are Past And Gane Lyrics - Burns Robert

THE DEIDLY WARS ARE PAST AND GANE 

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 

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 

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 

I thocht upon the banks of Coille 

I thocht upon my Nancy 

I thocht upon her bewitching smile 

that stole my youthful fancy 

Norman Kennedy gor this from Jeannie Robertson 

who thought it was Robert Burns
