[Verse 1]
You'll walk unscathed through musket fire
No ploughman's blade will cut thee down
No cutlass wound will mar thy face
And you will be my ain true love
And you will be my ain true love

[Verse 2]
And as you walk through death's dark veil
The cannons' thunder can't prevail
And those who hunt thee down will fail
And you will be my ain true love
And you will be my ain true love

[Verse 3]
Asleep inside the cannon's mouth
The captain cries, "Here comes the rout!"
They'll seek to bind me North and South
I've gone to find my ain true love

[Verse 4]
The field is cut and bleeds to red
The cannon balls fly 'round my head
The infirmary man may count me dead
When I've gone to find my ain true love
I've gone to find my ain true love
