Soldier, soldier will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I have no shoes to put on?
So, off to the cobbler she did go
Just as fast as she could run.
She bought him a pair, the best that was there
And the soldier put them on.
Now,
Soldier, soldier will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I have no pants to put on?
So, off to the tailor she did go
Just as fast as she could run.
She bought him a pair, the best that was there
And the soldier put them on.
Now,
Soldier, soldier will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I have no socks to put on?
So, off to the seamstress she did go
Just as fast as she could run.
She bought him a pair, the best that was there
And the soldier put them on.
Now,
Soldier, soldier will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I have no shirt to put on?
So, off to the haberdasher she did go
Just as fast as she could run.
She bought him a shirt, without a speck of dirt
And the soldier put it on.
Oh,
Soldier, soldier will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you
With a wife and a baby at home!
Modern verses:
A hat...
So, off to the mall she did go
Just as fast as she could run.
She bought him a hat, it had to be fat
And the soldier put it on.
A tie...
So, off to J C Penny's she did go
Just as fast as she could run.
She bought him a tie, the best she could buy
And the soldier put it on.
A wig...
Off to Hair club....
She bought him a wig, it had to be big.
A tuxedo...
Off to the Tux Shop she did go...
She bought him a tux, it cost a lot of bucks..
Sunglasses...
Off to Sunglass Hut she did go...
She bought him some shades, the best that were made...
