Pretty Young Soldier |
There are two young lovers, they're pledged to each other's hands, |
They meet by the river, to talk of their marriage plans. |
"I'm confessing," he said, "I've signed for a soldier, |
I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land." |
She watches the pretty young soldiers, |
As they march themselves off to the war. |
She wonders if she'll ever see him again, |
Somehow she doubts it, but she has to be sure. |
So she rode into town on the very next day, |
And dressed herself up all in man's array. |
With a sword and a musket she took the King's shilling, |
And to fight in some foreign war, |
She said, "Yes!," she'd be willing. |
All you pretty young soldiers, |
In those uniforms that you've never worn. |
The Captain will come to inspect you all now, |
"Let me down and you'll all wish you'd never been born." |
The Captain astride of his horse's grey flanks, |
Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks. |
His gaze it is fixed and she's starting to shake, |
He said, "Follow me soldier and listen to the offer that I'm willing to make." |
"Come you pretty young soldier, |
Come and be my right hand. |
You're having this strange effect on my soul, |
That I don't quite understand." |
"Captain, oh Captain, I've a confession to make, |
I love someone else and my heart it will break." |
And as she released her brown hair from a band, |
It tumbled all down her shoulders and into his hands. |
"Oh you pretty young soldier, |
Come and take my right hand. |
You're having this strange effect on my soul, |
And now I think, I understand." |
