《Gentleman Soldier》歌词

[00:00:00] Gentleman Soldier - The Dubliners

[00:00:11] It's of a gentlemen soldier as a sentry he did stand

[00:00:15] He saluted the fair maid be a waving of the hand

[00:00:18] So boldly then he kissed and he passed it off as a joke

[00:00:22] He drilled her up in the sentry box wrapped up a the soldiers coat

[00:00:26] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:00:29] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away

[00:00:33] All night they tossed and tumbled till daylight did appear

[00:00:37] The soldier rose put on his clothes said fare thee well me dear

[00:00:40] For the drums they are a pounding and the fifes did sweetly play

[00:00:44] If it weren't for that dear Polly then along with you I'd stay

[00:00:47] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:00:51] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away

[00:00:55] Oh come you gentlemen soldier "Won't you marry me "

[00:00:58] "Oh no me dearest Polly Such things never can be "

[00:01:02] "I've a wife already and children I have three

[00:01:06] Two wives are allowed in army but one is too many for me "

[00:01:09] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:01:13] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away

[00:01:17] If anyone comes a courting you you can treat them to a glass

[00:01:20] If anyone comes a courting you you can say you're a country lass

[00:01:24] You don't have to tell them that ever you played this joke

[00:01:27] That you were drilled in the sentry box wrapped up in the soldier's cloak

[00:01:31] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:01:35] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away

[00:01:38] Oh come you gentlemen soldier when you tell me so

[00:01:42] Me parents will be angry when this they come to know

[00:01:45] And when nine long months had come and past the poor girl she brought shame

[00:01:49] She had a little militia boy and she didn't know his name

[00:01:52] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:01:56] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away
