Lyrics:


Soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I have no hat to put on?
Off to the haberdasher she did go,
As fast as she could run,
Bought him a hat, the best that there was
And the soldier put it on.

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I have no coat to put on?
Off to the tailor she did go
As fast as she could run.
She brought him back the finest that was there
And the soldier put it on.

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I have no boots to put on?
Off to the cobbler she did go
As fast as she could run.
She brought him back the finest that was there
And the soldier put it on.

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I have no pants to put on?
Off to the tailor she did go
As fast as she could run.
She brought him a pair the finest that was there
And the soldier put it on.

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket fife and drum?
Well, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
With a wife and child at home?
