《Gentleman Soldier》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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