“Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
n
I’ll down an’ die with my true love!”
n
“The pit we dug’ll ‘ide ‘im an’ the twenty men beside ‘im—
n
An’ you’d best go look for a new love.”
n
n
“Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
n
Do you bring no sign from my true love?”
n
“I bring a lock of ‘air that ‘e allus used to wear,
n
An’ you’d best go look for a new love.”
n
n
“Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
n
O then I know it’s true I’ve lost my true love!”
n
“An’ I tell you truth again—when you’ve lost the feel o’ pain
n
You’d best take me for your true love.”
n
True love! New love!
n
Best take ‘im for a new love,
n
The dead they cannot rise, an’ you’d better dry your eyes,
n
An’ you’d best take ‘im for your true love.
