Soldier Won't You Marry Me - Della Reese

Soldier, soldier, won’t you marry me?

It’s O, a fife and drum.

How can I marry such a pretty girl as you

When I’ve got no hat to put on?

Off to the tailor she did go

As hard as she could run,

Brought him back the finest was there.

Now, soldier, put it on.

Soldier, soldier, won’t you marry me?

It’s O, a fife and drum.

How can I marry such a pretty girl as you

When I’ve got no coat to put on?

Off to the tailor she did go

As hard as she could run,

Brought him back the finest was there.

Now, soldier, put it on.

Soldier, soldier, won’t you marry me?

It’s O, a fife and drum.

How can I marry such a pretty girl as you

When I’ve got no shoes to put on?

Off to the shoe shop she did go

As hard as she could run,

Brought him back the finest was there.

Now, soldier, put them on.

Soldier, soldier, won’t you marry me?

It’s O, a fife and drum.

How can I marry such a pretty girl as you

And a wife and baby at home?
