1
Soldier, oh, soldier
2
A-coming from the plain
3
He courted the lady
4
Through honor and through fame
5
Her beauty shone so bright
6
And that never could be told
7
She always loved the soldier
8
Because he was so bold
9
Fa, la, la, la, fa, la, la, la
10
Soldier, oh, soldier
11
If I would be your bride
12
But for fear of my father
13
Some danger might betide
14
Then he pulled it out sword and pistol
15
And he hung them by his side
16
Swore, he would be married
17
No matter what betide
18
Fa, la, la, la, fa, la, la, la
19
Then he took her to the parson
20
And of course, home again
21
There he met her father
22
And seven armed me
23
Let's fly says the lady
24
I fear we shall be slain
25
Hold your hand says the soldier
26
And never fear again
27
Fa, la, la, la, fa, la, la, la
28
Then he pulled it out sword and pistol
29
And he caused them to rattle
30
The lady held the horse
31
While the soldier fought in battle
32
Hold your hand says the old man
33
Do not be so bold
34
You shall have my daughter
35
And thousand pounds of gold
36
Fa, la, la, la, fa, la, la, la
37
Fight on said the lady
38
The portion is too small
39
Hold your hand says the old man
40
And you shall have it all
41
He took them right straight home
42
And he called them son and dear
43
Not because he loved them
44
But only through fear
45
Fa, la, la, la, fa, la, la, la
