YOU WILL BE MY AIN TRUE LOVE


 Performed: Alison Krauss
 Music / lyrics: Sting
 For: Cold Mountain (2003)



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
