Poem
“A soldier and a sailor went a walking one day ¶ Said the soldier to the sailor I have a great mind to pray.”
Poem.
A soldier and a sailor
went a walking one day
Said the soldier to the sailor
I have a great mind to pray
I have a great mind to
for the sins of old men
And whatever I pray for you
must say. Amen
2
The first thing I pray will
be for a good wife
That I may live happy
all the days of my life
And where I have one wife
That we may have ten
May we never want a
good wife said the soldier. Amen
3
The next thing we'll pray
for will be for the Queen
That she may live happy(continues on next page)- Collector
