A Gentleman Soldier - The Dubliners/Tommy Makem[00:00:00]

It's of a gentlemen soldier as a sentry he did stand[00:00:10]

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

So boldly then he kissed turning 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[00:00:25]

And the fifes did loudly play[00:00:27]

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[00:00:36]

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[00:00:47]

And the fifes did loudly play[00:00:49]

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[00:01:09]

And the fifes did loudly play[00:01:11]

Fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:01:13]

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

If anyone comes a courtin 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[00:01:27]

Box wrapped up in the soldier's cloak[00:01:29]

And the drums did go with a rat ta ta tat[00:01:31]

And the fifes did loudly play[00:01:33]

Fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:01:34]

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

Me parents will be angry when this they come to know[00:01:41]

And when nine long months had come[00:01:45]

And past the poor girl she brought shame[00:01:47]

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[00:01:52]

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

Fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:01:56]
