Songs Title：the deserter[00:00:02]

As I was a-walking down Radcliffe highway[00:00:23]

A recruiting party came a-beating my way[00:00:32]

They enlisted me and treated me till I did not know[00:00:40]

And to the Queen's barracks they forced me to go[00:00:48]

When first I deserted I thought myself free[00:01:03]

Until my cruel comrade informed against me[00:01:11]

I was quickly followed after and brought back with speed[00:01:19]

I was handcuffed and guarded heavy irons put on me[00:01:28]

Court martial court martial they help upon me[00:01:37]

And the sentence passed upon me three hundred and three[00:01:44]

May the Lord have mercy on them for their sad cruelty[00:01:55]

For now the Queen's duty lies heavy on me[00:02:04]

When next I deserted I thought myself free[00:02:18]

Until my cruel sweetheart informed against me[00:02:26]

I was quickly followed after and brought back with speed[00:02:33]

I was handcuffed and guarded heavy irons put on me[00:02:41]

Court martial court martial then quickly was got[00:02:51]

And the sentence passed upon me that I was to be shot[00:02:59]

May the Lord have mercy on them for their sad cruelty[00:03:09]

For now the Queen's duty lies heavy on me[00:03:18]

Then up rode Prince Albert in his carriage and six[00:03:27]

Saying Where is that young man whose coffin is fixed [00:03:35]

Set him free from his irons and let him go free[00:03:45]

For he'll make a good soldier for his Queen and country[00:03:54]
