Mary and the Soldier Lucy Kaplansky
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C Am D G (2x)
Come all ye [C]lads of high re[G]nown[D]
And would [G]hear of a [D]fair young [G]maiden[C]
And she rode out of a summer's [G]day[D]
For to [G]view the [D]soldiers pa[G]rading
They marched so bold and they [C]looked so [Em]ga-[D]ay
The [C]colours flying and the bands did [G]play
And it [C]caused young [G]Mary [C]for to [G]say
"I'll wed you, my [D]gallant [G]soldier"
And she [C]viewed the soldiers on pa[G]rade[D]
And [G]as they [D]stood at their [G]leisure
And [C]Mary to herself did [G]say[D]
"At [G]last I've [D]found my [G]treasure
But oh, how cruel my [C]parents must [Em]be-[D]e
To banish my [C]darling so far from [G]me
But I'll [C]leave them [G]all and I'll [C]go with [G]thee
You wild, un[D]daunted [G]soldier"
INTERLUDE: C Am D G (2x)
"Oh, [C]Mary dear, your parents [G]love[D]
I [G]pray don't [D]be un[G]ruly
For [C]when you're in a foreign [G]land[D]
Be[G]lieve me, you'll [D]rue it [G]surely
And if in battle [C]I might [Em]fal[D]l_
By a [C]shot from an angry cannon[G]ball
And [C]you so [G]far from your [C]daddy's [G]hall
Be advised by your [D]gallant [G]soldier"
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G C G D G D G
[C] [Em] [D] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D] [G]
"And I have fifty [C]guineas in bright [G]gold[D]
Like[G]wise, a [D]heart that's [G]bolder[C]
And I'll [G]leave them all and I'll go with you[D]
You [G]wild, un[D]daunted [G]soldier
So don't say no, but [C]let me [Em]go-[D]o
And [C]I will face the daring [G]foe
And we'll [C]march to[G]gether, [C]to and [G]fro
And I'll wed you, my [D]gallant [G]soldier"[C] [G]
INTERLUDE: C Am G D G (2x)
And [C]when he saw her [G]loyalty[D]
And [G]Mary [D]so true [G]hearted
He said, "Then darling, [C]married we'll [G]be[D]
And [G]nothing but [D]death will [G]part us
And when we're in a [C]foreign [Em]lan[D]d_
I'll [C]guard you darling, with my right [G]hand
In the [C]hopes that [G]god might [C]stand a [G]friend
To Mary and her [D]gallant [G]soldier[C] [G]
In the [C]hopes that [G]god might stand a [D]friend
To [G]Mary and her [D]gallant [Em]so-[C]ol-[G]dier"
