Gentleman Soldier - The Dubliners[00:00:01]

It's of a gentlemen soldier as a sentry he did stand[00:00:08]

He saluted the fair maid be a waving of the hand[00:00:12]

So boldly then he kissed and he passed it off as a joke[00:00:15]

He drilled her up in the sentry box wrapped up a the soldiers coat[00:00:19]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:00:23]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:00:27]

All night they tossed and tumbled till daylight did appear[00:00:31]

The soldier rose put on his clothes said fare thee well me dear[00:00:34]

For the drums they are a pounding and the fifes did sweetly play[00:00:38]

If it weren't for that dear Polly then along with you I'd stay[00:00:42]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:00:46]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:00:49]

Oh come you gentlemen soldier "Won't you marry me "[00:00:53]

"Oh no me dearest Polly Such things never can be "[00:00:57]

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

Two wives are allowed in army but one is too many for me "[00:01:05]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:01:08]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:01:12]

If anyone comes a courting you you can treat them to a glass[00:01:16]

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[00:01:23]

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[00:01:39]

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[00:01:46]

She had a little militia boy and she didn't know his name[00:01:50]

And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play[00:01:54]

Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away[00:01:58]
