Gentleman Soldier - Steeleye Span
Oh it's of a gentleman soldier as a sentry he did stand
He saluted a fair maid with a waving of his hand
So boldly then he kissed her and passed it off as a joke
Then he drilled her into the sentry box wrapped up in a soldier's cloak
And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play
Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away
All night they tossed and tumbled till daylight did appear
The soldier rose put on his clothes said fare thee well me dear
For the drums they are a-beating the fifes still loudly play
If it weren't for that polly me dear with you i'd long to stay
And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play
Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away
Oh come me gentleman soldier now won't you marry me
Oh no me dearest polly such things they never can be
For married i am already and children i have three
Two wifes are allowed in the army but one's too many for me
And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play
Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away
Oh if anyone come a-courting you you treat him to a glass
If anyone come a-courting you you say you're a country lass
You needn't even tell them that ever you've laid a joke
That ever you went into a sentry box wrapped up in a soldier's cloak
And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play
Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away
Oh come me gentleman soldier why didn't you tell me so
Me parents they'll be angry when this they come to know
When nine long months were up and past the young girl she brought shame
She had a little militia boy and she couldn't tell his name
And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play
Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away
And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play
Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away
