traditional english folk – rogue’s march lyrics

Loading...

i left my home and i left my job
went and joined the army
if i knew then what i know now
i wouldn’t have been so barmy

chorus:
poor old soldier, poor old soldier
if i knew then what i know now
i wouldn’t have been so barmy

gave me a gun and a big red coat
gave me lots of drilling
if i knew then what i know now
i wouldn’t have took the shilling

chorus:..

sent me off on a real old boat
by christ she was no beauty
far far across the sea we went
afore to do my duty

chorus:..

fought the russians, or was it the french
really couldn’t tell, sir
all i know is they fought so hard
they sent us all to h+ll, sir
chorus:..

when we got back home again
to desert was my intent, sir
i sold my cot and i sold my coat
and over the wall i went, sir

chorus:..

went to a tavern and i got drunk
that is where they found me
back to barracks in chains i was sent
and there they did impound me

chorus: ..

fifty i got for selling me coat
fifty for me blankets
if ever i ‘list for a soldier again
the devil shall be me sergeant

last chorus + repeat:
poor old soldier, poor old soldier
if ever i ‘list for a soldier again
the devil shall be me sergeant
