Mary and the Soldier

Come all you lads of high renown that will hear of a fair young maiden
And she roved out on a summer's day to view the soldier's parading

They march so bold and they look so gay
The drums did beat and the bands did play
And it caused young Mary for to say
"I'll wed you my gallant soldier"

Mary watched as they did parade and as they stood at leisure
And Mary to herself did say: "At last I find my treasure

But oh how cruel my parents be
To send my true love away from me
Well I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee
My bold and undaunted soldier"

"Oh Mary dear, your parents' love I pray don't be unruly
For when you're in a foreign land, believe you rue it surely

Perhaps in battle I might fall
From a shot from an angry cannonball
And you so far from your daddy's hall
Be advised by a gallant soldier."

"Oh I have fifty guineas in right gold, likewise a heart that's bolder
I'd leave them all and I'd go with you my bold undaunted soldier

So don't say no but let me go
And I’ll face the days as they unfold
And we'll march together to and fro
And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"

And when he saw her loyalty and Mary so true-hearted
He said: "My darling, married we'll be and nothing but death will part us

And when we're in a foreign land
I'll guard you, darling, with my right hand
In hopes that God might stand a friend
to Mary and her gallant soldier"
