| Paroles de la chanson High Germany: |
| O Polly love, O Polly, the road has now begun |
| And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum |
| Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me |
| I’ll take you to the war me love in high Germany |
| Willy love, o Willy come list' what I do say |
| My feet they are so tender, I cannot march away |
| And besides my dearest Willy I am with child by thee |
| Not fitted for the war me love in high Germany |
| I’ll buy for you a horse me love |
| And on it you shall ride |
| And all my life shall I be riding by your side |
| We’ll stop at every alehouse and drink when we are dry |
| We’ll be true to one another |
| Get married bye and bye |
| O cursed be them cruel wars that ever they should rise |
| And out of merry England press many a man likewise |
| They pressed my true love from me |
| Likewise my brothers three |
| And sent them to the wars me love in high Germany |
| My friends I do not value nor my foes I do not fear |
| Now my love has left me I wander far and near |
| And when my baby it is born and smiling on my knee |
| I will think of lovely Willy in high Germany |
| O Polly love, O Polly, the road has now begun |
| And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum |
| Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me |
| I’ll take you to the war me love in high Germany |
