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

It's of a gentlemen soldier as a sentry he did stand[00:00:11]

He saluted the fair maid be a waving of the hand[00:00:15]

So boldly then he kissed and he passed it off as a joke[00:00:18]

He drilled her up in the sentry box wrapped up a the soldiers coat[00:00:22]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:00:26]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:00:29]

All night they tossed and tumbled till daylight did appear[00:00:33]

The soldier rose put on his clothes said fare thee well me dear[00:00:37]

For the drums they are a pounding and the fifes did sweetly play[00:00:40]

If it weren't for that dear Polly then along with you I'd stay[00:00:44]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:00:47]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:00:51]

Oh come you gentlemen soldier "Won't you marry me "[00:00:55]

"Oh no me dearest Polly Such things never can be "[00:00:58]

"I've a wife already and children I have three[00:01:02]

Two wives are allowed in army but one is too many for me "[00:01:06]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:01:09]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:01:13]

If anyone comes a courting you you can treat them to a glass[00:01:17]

If anyone comes a courting you you can say you're a country lass[00:01:20]

You don't have to tell them that ever you played this joke[00:01:24]

That you were drilled in the sentry box wrapped up in the soldier's cloak[00:01:27]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:01:31]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:01:35]

Oh come you gentlemen soldier when you tell me so[00:01:38]

Me parents will be angry when this they come to know[00:01:42]

And when nine long months had come and past the poor girl she brought shame[00:01:45]

She had a little militia boy and she didn't know his name[00:01:49]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:01:52]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:01:56]
