Pretty Young Soldier - Sting[00:00:03]
There are two young lovers they're pledged to each other's hands[00:00:20]
They meet by the river to talk of their marriage plans[00:00:24]
I'm confessing he said I've signed for a soldier[00:00:29]
And I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land[00:00:34]
She watches the pretty young soldiers[00:00:39]
As they march themselves off to the war[00:00:44]
She wonders if she'll ever see him again[00:00:49]
Somehow she doubts it but she has to be sure[00:00:54]
So she rode into town on the very next day[00:00:58]
And dressed herself up all in man's array[00:01:03]
With a sword and a musket she took the king's shilling[00:01:08]
And to fight in some foreign war[00:01:13]
She said yes she'd be willing[00:01:15]
All you pretty young soldiers[00:01:19]
In those uniforms that you've never worn[00:01:22]
The captain will come to inspect you all now[00:01:28]
Let me down and you'll all wish you'd never been born[00:01:32]
The captain astride of his horse's grey flanks[00:01:37]
Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks[00:01:42]
His gaze it is fixed and she's starting to shake[00:01:47]
He said follow me soldier and listen to the offer that I'm willing to make[00:01:51]
Come you pretty young soldier[00:01:57]
Come and be my right hand[00:02:02]
You're having this strange effect on my soul[00:02:07]
That I don't quite understand[00:02:11]
Captain oh captain I've a confession to make[00:02:17]
I love someone else and my heart it will break[00:02:21]
And as she released her brown hair from a band[00:02:26]
It tumbled all down her shoulders and into his hands[00:02:30]
Oh you pretty young soldier[00:02:36]
Come and take my right hand[00:02:41]
You're having this strange effect on my soul[00:02:46]
And now I think I understand[00:02:50]
