Soldier, Soldier Lyrics

Artist: Natalie Merchant (Buy Natalie Merchant CDs)
Album: The House Carpenter's Daughter

Said, €œsoldier, now soldier
Would you marry me
Before the fight comes on?€

€œhow can I marry
Such a pretty little girl
When I got no suit to put on?€

Well she went to the dry goods store
Hard as she could run
She bought the finest
Little suit in the store,
€œcome on soldier put this on€

Said, €œsoldier, now soldier
Would you marry me
Before the fight comes on?€

€œhow can I marry
Such a pretty little girl
When I got no shoes to put on€

Well she went to the dry goods store
Hard as she could run
She bought the finest
Little shoes in the store
€œcome on soldier put these on€

Said, €œsoldier, now soldier
Would you marry me
Before the fight comes on?€

€œhow can I marry
Such a pretty little girl
When I got no hat to put on?€

Well she went to the dry goods store
Hard as she could run
She bought the finest
Little hat in the store
€œcome on soldier put this on€

Said, €œsoldier, now soldier
Would you marry me
Before the fight comes on?€

€œhow can I marry
Such an ugly little girl
When I got a pretty wife at home?€
