the sheringham shantymen - high germany lyrics

[verse 1]
oh polly, love, oh polly, the rout has now begun
and we must go a+marching to the beating of a drum
go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me
i’ll take you to the war me love, in high germany

[verse 2]
oh w+lly, love, oh w+lly, come list’ what i do say
my feet they are so tender, i cannot march away
and besides my dearest w+lly, i am with child by thee
not fitted for the war, me love, in high germany

[verse 3]
i’ll buy for you a horse, me love, and on it ye shall ride
and know that i shall be here, a+riding by your side
we’ll stop at evеry alehouse, and drink when wе are dry
be true to one another, get married by+and+by

[verse 4]
oh cursed be those cruel wars, that ever they shall rise
and out of merry england press many a man likewise
they pressed my true love from me, likewise my brothers three
and sent them to the war, me love, in high germany

[verse 5]
me friends i do not value, nor my foes i do not fear
now my love has left me, i wander far and near
and when the baby it is born, a+smiling on my knee
i’ll think on lovely w+lly in high germany
[verse 6]
oh polly, love, oh polly, the rout has now begun
and we must go a+marching at the beating of a drum
go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me–
i’ll take you to the war me love, in high germany
