The Gentleman Soldier - A. L. Lloyd[00:00:00]

It's of a gentleman soldier as a sentry he did stand[00:00:04]

And he kindly saluted a fair maid by waving of his hand[00:00:08]

So boldly then he kissed her and passed it as a joke[00:00:12]

He drilled her into the sentry box wrapped up in a soldier's cloak[00:00:17]

For the drums do go with a rap-a-tap-tap and the fifes did loudly play[00:00:21]

Saying fare you well my polly dear i must be going away[00:00:25]

Oh there they tossed and tumbled till daylight did appear[00:00:31]

The soldier rose put on his clothes says fare you well my dear[00:00:36]

For the drums they are a-beating and the fifes so sweetly play[00:00:40]

And if it warn't for that dear polly along with you i'd stay[00:00:44]

For the drums do go with a rap-a-tap-tap and the fifes did loudly play[00:00:48]

Saying fare you well my polly dear i must be going away[00:00:52]

Now come you gentleman soldier and won't you marry me[00:00:58]

Oh no my dearest polly such things can never be[00:01:03]

For married i am already and children i have three[00:01:07]

Two wives are allowed in the army but one's too many for me[00:01:12]

For the drums do go with a rap-a-tap-tap and the fifes did loudly play[00:01:15]

Saying fare you well my polly dear i must be going away[00:01:19]

If anyone come a-courting you treat 'em to a glass[00:01:26]

If anyone come a-courting you say you're a country lass[00:01:30]

You needn't even tell them that ever you played this joke[00:01:34]

That ever you went in a sentry box wrapped up in a soldier's cloak[00:01:39]

For the drums do go with a rap-a-tap-tap and the fifes did loudly play[00:01:42]

Saying fare you well my polly dear i must be going away[00:01:46]

It's come my gentleman soldier why didn't you tell me so[00:01:53]

My parents will be angry when this they come to know[00:01:57]

When long nine months was up and past this poor girl she brought shame[00:02:01]

For she had a little militia boy and she couldn't tell his name[00:02:05]

For the drums do go with a rap-a-tap-tap and the fifes did loudly play[00:02:09]

Saying fare you well my polly dear i must be going away[00:02:13]
