The Gentleman Soldier - The Pogues[00:00:00]

It's of a gentleman soldier[00:00:09]

As sentry he did stand[00:00:10]

He saluted a fair maiden[00:00:12]

By a waiving of his hand[00:00:13]

And then he boldly kissed her[00:00:15]

And he passed it off as a joke[00:00:16]

He drilled her up in the sentry box[00:00:18]

Wrapped up in a soldier's cloak[00:00:19]

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap[00:00:21]

And the fifes they loudly play[00:00:23]

Fare you well polly my dear[00:00:24]

I must be going away[00:00:26]

All night they tossed and tumbled[00:00:28]

'Till the daylight did appear[00:00:28]

The soldier rose put on his clothes [00:00:31]

Saying fare you well my dear[00:00:33]

For the drums they are a beating[00:00:34]

And the fifes they so sweetly play[00:00:36]

If it weren't for that polly my dear[00:00:37]

With you I'd gladly stay[00:00:39]

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap[00:00:41]

And the fifes they loudly play[00:00:42]

Fare you well polly my dear[00:00:44]

I must be going away[00:00:46]

If anyone comes a courting you [00:00:47]

You can treat them to a glass[00:00:49]

If anyone comes a courting you [00:00:50]

You can say you're a country lass[00:00:52]

You needn't ever tell them [00:00:54]

Nor pass it off as a joke[00:00:55]

That you got drilled in a sentry box[00:00:57]

Wrapped up in a soldier's cloak[00:00:59]

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap[00:01:00]

And the fifes they loudly play[00:01:02]

Fare you well polly my dear[00:01:03]

I must be going away[00:01:05]

Now come you gentleman soldier [00:01:14]

Won't you marry me [00:01:15]

Oh no my dearest polly[00:01:17]

Such things can never be[00:01:18]

For I've a wife already[00:01:20]

Children i have three[00:01:22]

Two wives are allowed in the army[00:01:23]

But one's too many for me[00:01:25]

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap[00:01:27]

And the fifes they loudly play[00:01:28]

Fare you well polly my dear[00:01:30]

I must be going away[00:01:32]

Oh it's come my gentleman soldier [00:01:33]

Why didn't you tell me so my parents will be angry[00:01:35]

When this they come to know when nine months had been and gone[00:01:38]

The poor girl she brought shame[00:01:41]

She had a little militia boy[00:01:43]

And she didn't know his name[00:01:45]

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap[00:01:46]

And the fifes they loudly play[00:01:48]

Fare you well polly my dear[00:01:50]

I must be going away[00:01:51]

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap[00:01:53]

And the fifes they loudly play[00:01:54]

Fare you well polly my dear[00:01:56]

I must be going away[00:01:58]
