《Gentleman Soldier》歌词

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

[00:00:08] It's of a gentlemen soldier as a sentry he did stand

[00:00:12] He saluted the fair maid be a waving of the hand

[00:00:15] So boldly then he kissed and he passed it off as a joke

[00:00:19] He drilled her up in the sentry box wrapped up a the soldiers coat

[00:00:23] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:00:27] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away

[00:00:31] All night they tossed and tumbled till daylight did appear

[00:00:34] The soldier rose put on his clothes said fare thee well me dear

[00:00:38] For the drums they are a pounding and the fifes did sweetly play

[00:00:42] If it weren't for that dear Polly then along with you I'd stay

[00:00:46] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:00:49] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away

[00:00:53] Oh come you gentlemen soldier "Won't you marry me "

[00:00:57] "Oh no me dearest Polly Such things never can be "

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

[00:01:05] Two wives are allowed in army but one is too many for me "

[00:01:08] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:01:12] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away

[00:01:16] 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

[00:01:23] 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

[00:01:39] Oh come you gentlemen soldier when you tell me so

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

[00:01:46] And when nine long months had come and past the poor girl she brought shame

[00:01:50] She had a little militia boy and she didn't know his name

[00:01:54] And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes did loudly play

[00:01:58] Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away
