[00:08.702]It's of a gentleman soldier as sentry he did stand
[00:11.999]He saluted a fair maiden by a waving of his hand
[00:15.212]And then he boldly kissed her and he passed it off as a joke
[00:18.314]He drilled her up in the sentry box, wrapped up in a soldier's cloak
[00:21.239]And the drums are going a-rap-a-tap-tap
[00:23.068]And the fifes, they loudly play
[00:24.814]Fare thee well, Polly my dear
[00:26.439]I must be going away
[00:27.928]All night they tossed and tumbled till the morning did appear
[00:31.125]The soldier rose, put on his clothes, and said "Farewell, my dear
[00:34.441]For the drums are loudly beating, and the fifes they sweetly play
[00:37.650]If it weren't for that, Polly my dear, with you I'd gladly stay"
[00:40.954]And the drums are going a-rap-a-tap-tap
[00:42.597]And the fifes, they loudly play
[00:44.347]Fare thee well, Polly my dear
[00:45.943]I must be going away
[00:47.499]"If anyone comes a-courting you, you can treat them to a glass
[00:50.821]If anyone comes a courting you, you can say you're a country lass
[00:54.207]You don't have to tell them that you ever played this joke
[00:57.287]That you got drilled in a sentry box, wrapped up in a soldier's cloak"
[01:00.417]And the drums are going a-rap-a-tap-tap
[01:02.171]And the fifes, they loudly play
[01:04.027]Fare thee well, Polly my dear
[01:05.603]I must be going away
[01:13.900]"Now come you gentleman soldier! Won't you marry me?"
[01:17.222]"Oh no, my dearest Polly, this thing can never be
[01:20.580]For I've a wife already, and children I have three
[01:23.789]Two wives are allowed in the army, but one's too many for me"
[01:26.865]And the drums are going a-rap-a-tap-tap
[01:28.623]And the fifes, they loudly play
[01:30.367]Fare thee well, Polly my dear
[01:31.992]I must be going away
[01:33.546]"Oh come you gentleman soldier! Why didn't you tell me so?
[01:36.868]Me parents will be angry when this they come to know"
[01:40.113]And when nine months had been and gone, the poor girl, she brought shame
[01:43.380]She had a little militia boy, and she didn't know his name
[01:46.500]And the drums are going a-rap-a-tap-tap
[01:48.250]And the fifes, they loudly play
[01:50.020]Fare thee well, Polly my dear
[01:51.643]I must be going away
[01:53.047]And the drums are going a-rap-a-tap-tap
[01:54.838]And the fifes, they loudly play
[01:56.742]Fare thee well, Polly my dear
[01:58.161]I must be going away
