1
Your gun is precise, and your bayonet's nice
2
But the ice on the river won't hold you
3
You'll drown in a trice if you march on the ice
4
And lonely, cold death shall enfold you
5
Thus spoke his wife as he whetted his knife
6
Hoisting his pack, he said marching is my life
7
For when you're marching no woman can scold you
8
We're marching into Poland, then we're marching off to Spain
9
With your bayonet sharpened,
10
With your sharp bayonet you've no need to explain
11
For there's no woman who's ever controlled you
12
When you're marching no woman,
13
When you're marching no woman can scold you
14
Oh, bitter her tears, she was younger in years
15
Wiser than he, so she told him
16
March off if you must, they will all come to dust
17
For only a coffin shall hold him
18
Off goes her man, he will write when he can
19
And women have wept since the world first began
20
And how the sound of her sorrow consoled him
21
With the moon on the shingles, I see white on the snow
22
Goodbye to your husband,
23
So long to your husband, and then back home you'll go
24
Where you will wait for the fate you foretold him
25
You will wait for the fate,
26
You will wait for the fate you foretold him
27
It isn't a joke, your life is like smoke
28
And someday you will wish you had tarried
29
How quickly you'll fall, oh God help us all
30
A soldier should never get married
31
He tumbled the dice, and he soon paid the price
32
They gave him his orders to march on the ice
33
And then the water rose up all around him
34
And the water rose up and it drowned him
35
Through Poland, through Spain, his poor wife searched in vain
36
But he'd vanished: she never found him
37
He was gone and his wife
38
He was gone and his wife
39
He was gone and his wife never found him
40
Oh she never found him
