Текст песни Soldier Soldier - Stick in the Wheel

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars
Why don't you march with my true love?"
"We're fresh from off the ship an' 'e's maybe give the slip
An' you'd best go look for a new love."
New love! True love! Best go look for a new love

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars
What did you see o' my true love?"
"I seed 'im serve the Queen in a suit o' rifle-green
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars
Did ye see no more o' my true love?"
"I seed 'im runnin' by when the shots begun to fly—
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars
Did aught take 'arm to my true love?"
"Well I couldn't see the fight, for the smoke it lay so white—
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"O soldier, soldier come from the wars
I'll up an' tend to my true love!"
"'E's lying on the dead with a bullet through 'is 'ead
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars
Then I'll down an' die with my true love!"
"The pit we dug'll 'ide 'im an' the twenty men beside 'im—
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars
Do you bring no sign from my true love?"
"I brung a lock of 'air that 'e allus used to wear
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars
O then I know it's true I've lost my true love!"
"An' I tell you truth again—when you've lost the feel o' pain
You'd best take me for your true love."
