Luyện nghe bài hát The Gentleman Soldier

It's of a soldier as a sentry he did stand
He saluted a fair maiden by a of his hand
And then he kissed her and he passed it off as a joke
He her up in the sentry box, wrapped up in a soldier's cloak

And the drums are a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they play
thee well, Polly me dear
I must be going

All night they tossed and tumbled the morning did appear
The soldier rose, put on his clothes, he said, "Fare my dear"
All the drums are loudly beating and the pipes sweetly play
If it weren't for that Polly me dear with you I'd stay

And the are going a rap a tap tap
And the fifes loudly play
Fare thee well, me dear
I must be away

If comes a courting you, you can treat them to a glass
If comes a courting you, you can say you're a country lass
You don't have to tell them you ever played this joke
That you got drilled in a sentry box, wrapped up in a cloak

And the drums are a rap a tap tap
And the they loudly play
Fare thee well, me dear
I be going away

Now, come you gentleman soldier, won't you me?
Oh no, me dearest Polly, this can never be
For a wife already, children I have three
Two wives are allowed in the army but one's too for me

And the drums are a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they loudly
Fare thee well, Polly me
I be going away

Oh, it's come my gentleman soldier, why didn't you me so?
Me will be angry when this they come to know
When nine had been and gone, the poor girl she brought shame
She had a little militia boy and she didn't know his

And the drums are a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they loudly
thee well, Polly me dear
I must be away

And the drums are a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they play
Fare well, Polly me dear
I must be away
