YOU WILL BE MY AIN TRUE LOVE
Performed: Alison Krauss
Music / lyrics: Sting
For:
You’ll walk unscathed through musket fire,
no ploughman’s blade will cut thee down,
no cutlass wound will mark thy face,
and you will be my ain true love,
and you will be my ain true love
And as you walk through death’s dark vale,
the cannon’s 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
Asleep inside the cannon’s mouth,
the captain cries, “Here comes the rout,”
they’ll seek to find me north and south,
and I’ve gone to find my ain true love
The field is cut and bleeds to red,
the cannon balls fly round my head,
the infirm’ry man may count me dead,
but I’ve gone to find my ain true love,
I’ve gone to find my ain true love
