Come all ye lads of high renown

For to view the soldiers parading

They marched so bold and they looked so ga-ay

The colours flying and the bands did play

And it caused young Mary for to say

"I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"

And she viewed the soldiers on parade

And as they stood at their leisure

"At last I've found my treasure
C Em D

You wild, undaunted soldier"

For when you're in a foreign land

Believe me, you'll rue it surely

And if in battle I might fall_

By a shot from an angry cannonball

And you so far from your daddy's hall

Be advised by your gallant soldier"

You wild, undaunted soldier
C Em D
So don't say no, but let me go-o

And we'll march together, to and fro

And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"

And when he saw her loyalty
G D G
And Mary so true hearted
C G D
He said, "Then darling, married we'll be
G D G
And nothing but death will part us
C Em D
And when we're in a foreign land_
C G
I'll guard you darling, with my right hand
C G C G
In the hopes that god might stand a friend
D G C G
To Mary and her gallant soldier
C G D
In the hopes that god might stand a friend
G D Em C G
To Mary and her gallant so-ol-dier"
