Chad Mitchell Trio The Bonny Streets of Five-I-O Lyrics:
There once was a troop, of Irish Dragoons,
Come marching down through Five-i-o.
And the Captain fell in love, with a very bonny lass,
As we marched through the bonny streets of Five-i-o.
The Captain's name was Ned, he was the pride of the Regiment,
The Bonniest lad in all of the Army-o.
A very handsome sight, he was the ladies' own delight!
As we marched though the bonny streets of Five-i-o."
"Well, it’s I'll give you ribbons, love, and I'll give you rings,
I'll give you a necklace of amber-o,
If you'll come on down the stair, and comb back your yellow hair,
And we'll march through the bonny streets of Five-i-o.
There's many a bonny lass, in the town of Achterlass,
Aye, there's many a bonny lassie in the Geary-o,
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/XYO9 ]There's many a bonny Jean, in the streets of Aberdeen!
But the flow'r of them all lives in Five-i-o."
"Mount up! the Colonel cried, and it's o'er the bray we'll ride,
Down from the Hielans to Fenario,
Well, it's tarry another day, we heard our Captain say,
As we marched through the bonny streets of Five-i-o.
The Colonel in a rage, drew his pistol and took aim,
At the bonniest lad in all of the army-o...
He fired a deadly ball, and our Captain, he did fall,
As we marched through the bonny streets of Five-i-o."
"It's lang ere we left, the town of Achterlass,
We had our young Captain to carry-o.
And lang ere we came in to bonny Aberdeen,
That we had our young Captain there to bury-o."
"There once was a troop, of Irish Dragoons,
Come marchin' down through Fyve-i-o,
And the Captain fell in love, with a very bonny lass,
As we marched through the bonny streets of Fyve-i-o."
