Soldier, Won't You Marry Me?

Lyrics

Soldier, Won't You Marry Me?

Oh, soldier, soldier, won't you marry me, with your musket, fife, and drum?
Oh, no, sweet maid, I cannot marry thee, for I have no coat to put on.
So up she went to her grandfather's chest, and brought him a coat of the very, very best. She brought him a coat of the very, very best, and the soldier put it on!

Oh, soldier, soldier, won't you marry me, with your musket, fife, and drum?
Oh, no, sweet maid, I cannot marry thee, for I have no boots to put on.
So up she went to her grandfather's chest, and brought him some boots of the very, very best. She brought him some boots of the very, very best, and the soldier put it on!

Oh, soldier, soldier, won't you marry me, with your musket, fife, and drum?
Oh, no, sweet maid, I cannot marry thee, for I have no hat to put on.
So up she went to her grandfather's chest, and brought him a hat of the very, very best. She brought him a hat of the very, very best, and the soldier put it on!

Oh, soldier, soldier, won't you marry me, with your musket, fife, and drum?
Oh, no, sweet maid, I cannot marry thee, for I have no gloves to put on.
So up she went to her grandfather's chest, and brought him some gloves of the very, very best. She brought him some gloves of the very, very best, and the soldier put it on!

Oh, soldier, soldier, won't you marry me, with your musket, fife, and drum?
Oh, no, sweet maid, I cannot marry thee, for I have a wife of my own!
