Female Drummer (Mk 2 BBC “Folk on 1” 17 October 1970) - Steeleye Span[00:00:00]
I was brought up in Yorkshire[00:00:26]
And when I was sixteen[00:00:28]
Oh I ran away to London[00:00:30]
And a soldier I became[00:00:32]
With me fine cap and feather [00:00:34]
Likewise me rattling drum[00:00:36]
They learned me to play[00:00:38]
Upon the rub a dub a dum[00:00:40]
With me gentle waist so slender [00:00:42]
Me fingers long and small[00:00:44]
And to play upon the rub[00:00:46]
A dub the best of them all[00:00:48]
And so many were the pranks[00:00:58]
That I saw among the french[00:01:00]
And so boldly did I fight me[00:01:02]
Boys although I'm but a wench[00:01:04]
And in buttoning up me trousers[00:01:06]
So often have I smiled[00:01:08]
To think I lay with a thousand[00:01:10]
Men and a maiden all the while[00:01:12]
With me fine cap and feather [00:01:14]
Likewise me rattling drum[00:01:16]
They learned me to play[00:01:18]
Upon the rub a dub a dum[00:01:20]
With me gentle waist so slender [00:01:22]
Me fingers long and small[00:01:24]
And to play upon the[00:01:26]
Rub a dub the best of them all[00:01:28]
And they never found my secret[00:01:46]
Out until this very hour[00:01:48]
When they sent me off to London[00:01:50]
To keep sentry o'er the Tower[00:01:52]
When a young girl fell in love[00:01:54]
With me and she found that I was a maid[00:01:56]
She went up to me officer[00:01:58]
Me secret she betrayed[00:02:00]
With me fine cap and feather [00:02:02]
Likewise me rattling drum[00:02:04]
They learned me to play upon[00:02:06]
The rub a dub a dum[00:02:08]
With me gentle waist so slender [00:02:10]
Me fingers long and small[00:02:12]
And to play upon the rub[00:02:14]
A dub the best of them all[00:02:16]
He unbuttoned then my red tunic[00:02:34]
And he found that it was true[00:02:36]
It's a shame he says to lose[00:02:38]
A pretty drummer boy like you[00:02:40]
So now I must return to me[00:02:43]
Mum and dad at home[00:02:44]
And along with me bold comrades[00:02:46]
It's no longer can I roam[00:02:48]
With me fine cap and feather [00:02:51]
Likewise me rattling drum[00:02:52]
They learned me to play upon[00:02:55]
The rub a dub a dum[00:02:57]
With me gentle waist so slender [00:02:59]
Me fingers long and small[00:03:01]
And to play upon the rub[00:03:03]
A dub the best of them all[00:03:05]
