[00:17.42] | Was brought up in Yorkshire and when I was sixteen |
[00:21.16] | I ran away to London and a soldier I became |
[00:25.00] | Me white cap and feathers, likewise me rattling drum |
[00:29.05] | They learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum |
[00:33.31] | With me gentle waist so slender and my fingers long and small |
[00:37.50] | Could play upon the rub-a-dub the best of them all |
[00:41.39] | |
[00:45.39] | And many a world of fights me boys |
[00:47.24] | I saw out in the field |
[00:48.84] | And boldly I defied them all |
[00:51.08] | And I refused to yield |
[00:52.99] | In buttoning up me trousers while often I did smile |
[00:56.84] | To think I lay with a thousand men and a maiden all the while |
[01:01.10] | With me white cap and feathers, likewise me rattling drum |
[01:05.10] | They learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum |
[01:09.20] | With me gentle waist so slender and my fingers long and small |
[01:13.16] | Could play upon the rub-a-dub the best of them all |
[01:16.87] | |
[01:32.83] | They never found my secret out until this very hour |
[01:36.24] | They sent me up to London to be sentry at the Tower |
[01:40.74] | A lady fell in love with me found I was a maid |
[01:44.70] | She sent me to my officer and my secret she betrayed |
[01:48.70] | Well he unbuttoned my red tunic and he found out it was true |
[01:52.97] | ‘It's a shame,' he said, ‘to lose a pretty drummer boy like you' |
[01:57.26] | And now I must return and go it all alone |
[02:01.08] | Along with my old comrades no longer can I roam |
[02:04.64] | |
[02:05.13] | With me white cap and feathers, likewise me rattling drum |
[02:08.89] | They learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum |
