Old Ballad (continued)
“Soldier, soldier, will you marry me?”
(continued from previous page)With her hi-ho, and the sound of a drum,
And she bought him a hat of the very very best,
And gave it to the soldier to put on. VIII“Soldier, soldier, won’t you marry me?
With my hi-ho, and the sound of a drum.”
“No, no, no, I could not marry you,
For I have a wife of my own.”- Collector
