brooke & john mcloughlin – soldier maid lyrics

when i was just a handsome maid, about age seventeen
i enlisted in the infantry afore to serve the queen
i enlisted in the infantry, a drummer boy to stand
to hear the cannons thunder and the music oh so grand

and many was the battles that i saw among the french
and there i fought so bravely, although i was but a wench
and in b+ttoning up my trousers, i laughed and how i smiled
to think i lay with a thousand men and a maiden all the while

with+a me white cap and feather, likewise me rattle and drum
me learned me to play upon the rub+a+dub+a+dum
with+a me gentle waist so slender, me fingers slight and small
that could play upon the rub+a+dum the best of them all

and so i kept my secret safe until this very hour
they sent me up to london to be sentry at the tower
a young girl fell in love with me, and i told her i was a maid
she went unto my officer, and my secret she betrayed

with+a me white cap and feather, likewise me rattle and drum
me learned me to play upon the rub+a+dub+a+dum
with+a me gentle waist so slender, me fingers slight and small
could play upon the rub+a+dum the best of them all
my officer came up to me and he asked me if it was true
“it’s a shame,” he said, “to lose a pretty drummer boy like you
but now you must return unto your mum and dad at home”
so farewell to my comrades, no longer shall i roam
