[00:00.00]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
