A Clight dragoon came over the hill
CWhen the moon was shining clearly
There Fwas a little lady and she knew him by his Chorse
BeFcause she Gloved him Cdearly, dearly, so Fdearly
There Dm7was a little lady and she Cknew him by his horse
BeFcause she Gloved him Cdearly

CShe's taken him by the nearside rein
CLed him to the stable
"Here's Fcorn and hay for your horse, young Cman
He can Feat while Ghe is Cable, able, so Fable
Here's Dm7corn and hay for your Chorse, young man
He can Feat while Ghe is Cable"

So Fnimble she's jumped Cinto the bed
To Fsee if Git was Ceasy, easy, so Feasy
So Dm7nimble she's jumped Cinto the bed
To Fsee if Git was Ceasy

An' she Frun home Gto her Cmummy
