Edinbro Girl

I love the Edinbro girl
Love those innocent eyes
I'll win the Edinbro girl
In time I'll make her my bride

I'm not but a highland lad
The army led me to roam
I'd not seen a city girl's face
Til I was far from home

One day in a fine parade
We went stumbling by
She smiled and the whole brigade
Lost their discipline side

That night as I lie awake
Her face enchanting my mind
I knew that the gods of fate
Would make her able to find

Chorus

First day we receive our leave
City center I'm bound
I'll search with a passioned plea
Til my true love is found

Cafe's and garden ways
Where'er my beauty may be
I pray my success one day
She'll be remembering me
By chance on a crowded lane
My search ended so fine
Those eyes and the coal black hair
And lips of burgundy wine

She blushed as I took her hand
But did not pull it away
She'll soon have a golden band
And pledge forever we'll stay

Chorus

I love the Edinbro girl
Love those innocent eyes
I won the Edinbro girl
Tonight I'll make her my bride
