[VERSE 1]
G C G
Come all you lads of high renown
D7 G
That will hear of a fair young maiden
C G
And she roved out on a summer's day
D7 G
For to view the soldier's parading
C G D7
They march so bold and they look so gay
Em C D7
The colors flyin' and the bands did play
G Em C D7
And it caused young Mary for to say,
G D7 G C D G
I'll wed you me gallant soldier"
[VERSE 2]
G C G
She viewed the soldiers on parade
D7 G
And as they stood at their leisure
C G
Young Mary to herself did say:
D7 G
"At last I found my treasure
C G D7
But oh how cruel my parents must be
Em C D7
To banish my darlin' so far from me
G Em C D7
Well I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee
G D7 G C D G
Me bold undaunted soldier"
[VERSE 3]
G C G
"Oh Mary dear, your parents' love,
D7 G
I pray don't be unruly
C G
For when you're in a foreign land,
D7 G
Believe me you'll rue it surely
C G D7
Perhaps in battle I might fall
Em C D7
From a shot from an angry cannon ball
G Em C D7
And you so far from your Daddy's hall
G D7 G C D G
Be advised by a gallant soldier."
[VERSE 4]
G C G
"Oh I have fifty guineas in my coat,
D7 G
Likewise a heart that's bolder
C G
And I'd leave them all and I'll go with you
D7 G
Me bold undaunted soldier
C G D7
So don't say no but let me go
Em C D7
And I will face the daring foe
G Em C D7
And we'll march together to and fro
G D7 G C D G
And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"
[VERSE 5]
G C G
And when he saw her loyalty
D7 G
And Mary so true-hearted
C G
He said: "Me darling, married we'll be,
D7 G
And nothing but death will part us
C G D7
And when we're in a foreign land
Em C D7
I'll guard you, darling, with my right hand
G Em C D7
And hopes that God might stand a friend
G D7 G C D G
To Mary and her gallant soldier"
