Learning to Love (Live)

I courted a man from the Lancs Fusiliers
 He gave me his heart and so I loved him dear
 For he took me a-courting and he taught me to dance
 Then he marched with the infantry over to France
 He told me to wait he'd be back in a year
 Now seventeen months I have wished he were here
 And I'll wait no longer, I'll take what I can
 So I'm learning to love with another young man
 Learning to love
 Learning to love
 Tired of the waiting
 I'm learning to love
 So I courted a man from the Royal Horse Blues
 He soon had to leave and I said I'd be true
 Now he's gone for his duty not seven weeks yet
 So I've found a new young man to help me forget
 I courted a man from the Kent Volunteer
 Now he's gone a-marching, and I wish he were here
 What can I do while my love is away?
 But court with a soldier from the Royal Scots Grey
 One day they'll come back and then I'll be true
 For I've learnt how to love and I've learnt how to choose
 To every young woman who waits at the shore
 Love while you're waiting; you'll learn so much more
