| Gallant Soldier (Mary And The Soldier) | |
|
English Come all ye lads of high renown That would hear of a fair young maiden She's gone out on a fine summer's day Just to watch all the soldiers paradin' They looked so fine and they looked so gay The colours were flying and the bands did play And Mary to herself did say I will wed with my gallant soldier She watched them standing on parade And she watched them at their leisure And Mary to herself did say At last I've found my treasure But oh, how cruel my parents can be Just to banish my true love so far from me I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee My bold undaunted soldier Ah, Mary dear, your parents' love I pray don't be unruly For when we're in some foreign land I know you'll rue it surely And if in battle I should fall From a shot from an angry cannon ball And you so far from your daddy's hall Be advised by your gallant soldier I've fifty guineas in bright gold Likewise a heart that's bolder And I'll leave them all and I'll go with you My bold undaunted soldier So don't say no but let me go And I will face the daring foe And we'll march together to and fro Mary and her gallant soldier And when he saw her loyalty And Mary so true-hearted He said, My darling, married we'll be And never shall be parted And when we're in some foreign land I'll guard ye, darling, with my right hand In the hopes that god might stand a friend To Mary and her gallant soldier |
