Eb - play D with capo on the first fret
[D]Down by yon green [G]bushes near [D]Calder's [G]clear [D]stream
Where
[G]me and my [D]Annie so [G]often have [D]been
When the [Bm]hours that flew [A]past us, right [G]happ[D]y [A]were [G]we
It
was [D]little she [G]thought that a [D]soldier [G]I'd [D]be
Break: Bm - A
But
it's farewell to Annie and I must away
For the King he needs soldiers and I must obey
But if providence prove kind love
until I return
I will wed with my Annie near Calder's clear burn
On the fourteenth of August
our regiment was lost
And a ball from the enemy our lines came across
O it struck me in the temple and the blood trickled
down
I reeled and I staggered and I fell to the ground
Come here, says our captain, come here
with good speed
For I fear by this bullet young Dinsmore lies dead
Two men with a stretcher did quickly prepare
And
they carried me away to a hospital there
Break: G - A - G D Etc under tin whistle solo end on G
Cold
water and brandy they poured out so free
They turned me all over my wounds for to see
But if I had my Annie to bind
up my wounds
One kiss from her sweet lips would soon deaden the stoun (stoun sting]
Break G - A - G
D Etc under tin whistle solo end on G
And it's when I am weary and think on lang syne
When I was
a miner and wrought in the mine
O the tears they do trickle and down they do fall
Like the roses that bloom around bonnie
Woodhall.
Outro: improv on G, end on D.
