Oh, woe be to the orders That marched my love away And woe be to the bitter tears I shed upon this day
And woe be to the bloody wars Of high Germany For they've carried off my own true love Left a broken heart to bleed
The drums beat in the morning Before the break of day And the wee, wee pipes played loud and shrill While yet the morn was gray
And the bonnie flags were all unfurled Was a gallant sight to see But sorrow for my soldier lad Who marched to Germany
Oh, woe be to the orders That marched my love away And woe be to the bitter tears I shed upon this day
And woe be to the country Where our men are forced to be And woe be to the foreign wars That stole my love from meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
