A / Anam / Mary And The Soldier
Come, all ye lads so fiery now That would hear of a fair young maiden And she looked out on a summer's day For to view the soldiers parading They marched so bold and they looked so gay With the colors flying and the bands did play And it caused young Mary for to say "I'll wed you, me gallant soldier"
Well, she viewed the soldiers on parade And as they stood at their leisure And Mary to herself did say "At last I've found my treasure But oh how cruel me parents must be To banish me darlin' so far from me Well, I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee Me bold, undaunted soldier"
Oh Mary dear, your parents love I pray don't be unruly For when you're in a foreign land Believe me, you'll rue it surely Perhaps in battle I might fall From a shot, from an angry cannon ball And you so far from your daddy's hall Be advised by a gallant soldier
And I have fifty guineas in bright gold Likewise a heart that's burning And I'll leave them all and I'll go with you Me bold undaunted soldier So don't say no, but let me go And I will face each daring foe And we'll march together to and fro And I'll wed you, me gallant soldier
When he saw her loyalty And Mary so true hearted He said, "Me darlin', married we'll be And nothing but death will part us And when we're in a foreign land I'll guard you, darlin', with my right hand And I hope that God might stand a friend To Mary and her gallant soldier" Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
