Mary And The Soldier |
Come all you lads of high renown that will hear of a fair young maiden |
And she roved out on a summer’s day for to view the soldier’s parading |
They march so bold and they look so gay |
The colours fine and the bands did play |
And it caused young Mary for to say |
«I'll wed you me gallant soldier» |
She viewed the soldiers on parade and as they stood at their leisure |
And Mary to herself did say: «At last I find my treasure |
But oh how cruel my parents must be |
To banish my true love away from me |
Well I’ll leave them all and I’ll go with thee |
Me bold and undaunted soldier" |
«Oh Mary dear, your parents' love I pray don’t be unruly |
For when you’re in a foreign land, believe you rue it surely |
Perhaps in battle I might fall |
From a shot from an angry cannonball |
And you’re so far from your daddy’s hall |
Be advised by a gallant soldier." |
«Oh I have fifty guineas in right gold, likewise a hearth that’s burning |
And I’d leave them all and I’d go with you me 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 |
And I’ll wed you, my gallant soldier" |
And when he saw her loyalty and Mary so true-hearted |
He said: «Me darling, married we’ll be and nothing but death will part us |
And when we’re in a foreign land |
I’ll guard you, darling, with my right hand |
And hopes that God might stand a friend |
With Mary and her gallant soldier" |
