Lyrics

Come all you lads of high renown that will hear of a fair young maiden
 ♪
 And she roved out on a summer's day for to view the soldier's parading
 
 They march so bold and they look so gay
 The colours fine and the bands did play
 And it caused young Mary for to say
 "I'll wed you me gallant soldier"
 ♪
 She viewed the soldiers on parade and as they stood at their leisure
 And Mary to herself did say, "At last I find my treasure
 But oh how cruel my parents must be
 To banish my true love away from me
 Well I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee
 My bold and undaunted soldier"
 ♪
 "Oh Mary dear, your parents' love I pray don't be unruly
 For when you're in a foreign land, believe me you rue it surely
 Perhaps in battle I might fall
 From a shot from an angry cannonball
 And you're so far from your daddy's hall
 Be advised by a gallant soldier"
 "Oh I have 50 guineas in right gold, likewise a hearth that's burning
 And I'd leave them all and I'd go with you my bold undaunted soldier
 So don't say no but let me go
 And I will face the daring foe
 And we'll march together to and fro
 And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"
 ♪
 And when he saw her loyalty and Mary so true-hearted
 
 He said, "Me darling, married we'll be and nothing but death will part us
 ♪
 And when we is in a foreign land
 I'll guard you, darling, with my right hand
 And hopes that God might stand a friend
 Oh Mary and her gallant soldier"
