It fell out upon one Martinmas time[00:00:15]

When snow lay on the border[00:00:19]

There came a troop of soldiers here[00:00:22]

To take up their winter quarters[00:00:26]

And they road high and they rode north[00:00:30]

And they rode o'er the border[00:00:33]

And there they met with a nice little girl[00:00:37]

She was a farmer's daughter[00:00:41]

Well they made her swear a solemn oath[00:00:45]

A salt tear in her eye[00:00:56]

That she would come to the quarter gates[00:00:58]

When no one would her spy[00:01:03]

But she's gone to the barber's shop[00:01:06]

And to the barber's shop went soon[00:01:10]

She made them cut off her long yellow hair[00:01:14]

As short as any dragoon[00:01:17]

And she's gone to the tailor's shop[00:01:21]

And dressed in soldier's clothes[00:01:25]

With two long pistols down by her side[00:01:28]

A nice little boy was she[00:01:32]

And she's gone to the quarter gates[00:01:37]

And loudly she does call[00:01:59]

There comes a troop of soldiers here[00:02:05]

We must have lodgings all[00:02:09]

And the quartermaster he comes down[00:02:12]

He gives her half a crown[00:02:16]

Go find your lodgings in the town[00:02:19]

Tonight there is no room[00:02:24]

So she moved closer to the gates[00:02:32]

And louder she does call[00:02:38]

Room room you gentlemen[00:02:42]

We must have lodgings all[00:02:46]

And the quartermaster he comes down[00:02:49]

He gives her eighteen pence[00:02:53]

Go find your lodgings in the town[00:02:56]

Tonight here comes a wench[00:03:00]

So she took a pistol from her side[00:03:23]

She blew it loud and shrill[00:03:30]

You're all very free with your eighteen pence[00:03:32]

You're not for a girl at all[00:03:37]

And she took the garter from her knee[00:03:40]

The ribbon from her hair[00:03:44]

She tied them 'round the quarter gates[00:03:48]

A token she'd been there[00:03:51]

And when they found that it was her[00:03:55]

They tried to have her taken[00:03:59]

She slapped her spurs to her horse's side[00:04:02]

She galloped home a maiden[00:04:11]
