时长: 04:12
I was brought up in Yorkshire and when I was sixteen [00:00:35]
Oh I ran away to London and a soldier I became [00:00:39]
With me fine cap and feather likewise me rattling drum [00:00:44]
They learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum [00:00:48]
With me gentle waist so slender me fingers long and small [00:00:53]
And to play upon the rub-a-dub the best of them all [00:00:57]
And so many were the pranks that I saw among the french [00:01:10]
And so boldly did I fight me boys although I'm but a wench [00:01:15]
And in buttoning up me trousers so often have I smiled [00:01:19]
To think I lay with a thousand men and a maiden all the while [00:01:24]
With me fine cap and feather likewise me rattling drum [00:01:28]
They learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum [00:01:33]
With me gentle waist so slender me fingers long and small [00:01:37]
And to play upon the rub-a-dub the best of them all [00:01:42]
And they never found my secret out until this very hour [00:02:04]
When they sent me off to London to keep sentry over the Tower [00:02:08]
When a young girl fell in love with me [00:02:13]
And she found that I was a maid [00:02:15]
She went up to me officer me secret she betrayed [00:02:17]
With me fine cap and feather likewise me rattling drum [00:02:21]
They learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum [00:02:26]
With me gentle waist so slender me fingers long and small [00:02:30]
And to play upon the rub-a-dub the best of them all [00:02:35]
He unbuttoned then my red tunic and he found that it was true [00:02:56]
It's a shame he says to lose a pretty drummer boy like you [00:03:01]
So now I must return to me mum and dad at home [00:03:06]
And along with me bold comrades it's no longer can I roam [00:03:10]
With me fine cap and feather likewise me rattling drum [00:03:14]
They learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum [00:03:19]
With me gentle waist so slender me fingers long and small [00:03:23]
And to play upon the rub-a-dub the best of them all [00:03:28]
