[00:09.779] Woe be to the orders that took my love away
[00:19.083] And woe be to the cruel cause that bid my tears to fall
[00:28.236] Woe be to the bloody wars of high Germany
[00:37.486] They have taken my love and left a broken heart to me
[00:48.988] The drum beat in the morning before the break of day
[00:57.957] And the small wee fife played loud
[01:00.909] And clear while yet the morn was gray
[01:07.272] And I the bonny flag unfurled,'twas a gallant sight to see
[01:16.970] Woe to me,my soldier lad was marched to Germany
[01:28.207] Long,long is the traveling to the bonny pier of Leith
[01:37.180] And bleak it was to gang there with a snowstorm in your teeth
[01:46.825] And aye,the wind blew sharp and strong
[01:51.580] And a tear rose in my eyne
[01:56.337] I gang there to see my love embark for Germany
[02:08.169] As I gazed over the cruel,cruel sea for as long as could be seen
[02:17.225] The wee small sails upon the ship my own true love was in
[02:26.697] And aye,the wind blew sharp and strong
[02:31.259] And the ship sailed speedily
[02:35.894] Cruel the raging wars have torn my bonny boy from me
[02:47.797] Woe be to the orders that took my love away
[02:57.139] And woe be to the cruel cause that bid my tears to fall
[03:06.633] Woe be to the bloody wars of high Germany
[03:15.997] They have taken my love and left a broken heart to me
