Gentleman Soldier - Steeleye Span[00:00:00]

Oh it's of a gentleman soldier as a sentry he did stand[00:00:22]

He saluted a fair maid with a waving of his hand[00:00:27]

So boldly then he kissed her and passed it off as a joke[00:00:31]

Then he drilled her into the sentry box wrapped up in a soldier's cloak[00:00:36]

And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play[00:00:40]

Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:00:45]

All night they tossed and tumbled till daylight did appear[00:00:52]

The soldier rose put on his clothes said fare thee well me dear[00:00:57]

For the drums they are a-beating the fifes still loudly play[00:01:02]

If it weren't for that polly me dear with you i'd long to stay[00:01:06]

And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play[00:01:10]

Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:01:14]

Oh come me gentleman soldier now won't you marry me[00:01:23]

Oh no me dearest polly such things they never can be[00:01:27]

For married i am already and children i have three[00:01:32]

Two wifes are allowed in the army but one's too many for me[00:01:36]

And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play[00:01:41]

Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:01:45]

Oh if anyone come a-courting you you treat him to a glass[00:01:55]

If anyone come a-courting you you say you're a country lass[00:01:59]

You needn't even tell them that ever you've laid a joke[00:02:02]

That ever you went into a sentry box wrapped up in a soldier's cloak[00:02:07]

And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play[00:02:11]

Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:02:15]

Oh come me gentleman soldier why didn't you tell me so[00:02:41]

Me parents they'll be angry when this they come to know[00:02:46]

When nine long months were up and past the young girl she brought shame[00:02:50]

She had a little militia boy and she couldn't tell his name[00:02:55]

And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play[00:02:59]

Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:03:04]

And the drums did go ratter-tat-tat and the fifes so loudly play[00:03:08]

Saying fare thee well polly me dear i must be going away[00:03:12]
