Song | High Germany |
Artist | Martin Carthy |
Album | Martin Carthy |
作词 : Traditional | |
“Oh Polly love, oh Polly, the rout has now begun, | |
And we must go a-marching to the beating of the drum. | |
Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me; | |
I'll take you to the war, my love, in High Germany.” | |
“Oh Willy love, oh Willy, come list what I do say, | |
My feet they are so tender, I cannot march away. | |
And besides, my dearest Willy, I am with child by thee, | |
Not fitted for the war, my love, in High Germany.” | |
“I'll buy for you a horse, my love, and on it you shall ride | |
And all my delight shall be a-riding by your side. | |
We'll stop at every alehouse and drink when we are dry, | |
We'll be true to one another, get married by and by.” | |
Oh, cursed be them cruel wars that ever they should 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, my love, in High Germany. | |
My 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 my baby it is born and a-smiling on my knee | |
I'll think on lovely Willy in High Germany. | |
(repeat first verse) |
