Gallant Hussar - Eliza Carthy/The Ratcatchers |
| [00:13.71] |
A damsel possessed of great beauty |
| [00:18.44] |
As she stood at her own father's gate |
| [00:23.50] |
Where the gallant hussars were on duty |
| [00:29.08] |
To view them this maiden did wait |
| [00:33.74] |
Their horses stood cap'ring and prancing |
| [00:38.71] |
Their accoutrements shone like a star |
| [00:42.70] |
And as they stood nearer advancing |
| [00:48.15] |
Young Jane spied her gallant hussar |
| [00:52.82] |
With their pelisses hung o'er their shoulders |
| [00:57.91] |
How careless they seemed for to ride |
| [01:02.10] |
And warlike appeared this young soldier |
| [01:07.40] |
With his glittering sword by his side |
| [01:12.01] |
To the barracks next morning so early |
| [01:16.96] |
This damsel she went in a car |
| [01:20.96] |
Because she loved him so dearly |
| [01:26.30] |
Young Edward the gallant hussar |
| [01:31.49] |
Oh as she conversed with the soldiers |
| [01:36.01] |
These words she was heard for to say |
| [01:40.50] |
Oh I've a heart no one bolder |
| [01:45.43] |
To follow my laddie away |
| [01:50.33] |
Well come come says Edward be steady |
| [01:55.24] |
And think of the dangers of war |
| [01:59.34] |
For when the trumpet sounds I must be ready |
| [02:04.61] |
Oh wed not the gallant Hussar |
| [02:27.89] |
Your parents you're bound for to mind them |
| [02:32.74] |
Or else you are for ever undone |
| [02:36.58] |
They will leave you no portion behind them |
| [02:42.00] |
So I pray you my company shun |
| [02:46.23] |
Says she If you will be true-hearted |
| [02:51.45] |
I have gold at my uncle's in store |
| [02:55.17] |
And from now we no more will be parted |
| [03:00.65] |
I will wed with my gallant Hussar |
| [03:09.92] |
As he gazed on her beautiful features |
| [03:14.72] |
Oh the tears they did fall from each eye |
| [03:18.53] |
I will wed with this beautiful creature |
| [03:23.88] |
And shun cruel wars he did cry |
| [03:28.58] |
So now they're united together |
| [03:33.28] |
And think of them where they're afar |
| [03:37.17] |
And God bless them now and for ever |
| [03:42.38] |
Young Jane and her gallant Hussar |
