Come to the station, jump from the train

March at the double, down lover's lane

Then in the glen where the roses entwine

Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

My sweetheart is a soldier, as handsome as can be

But suddenly they sent him, away across the sea

So patiently I waited, until his leave was due

Then wrote and said 'My darling, I'll tell you what to do'

Come to the station, jump from the train

March at the double, down lover's lane

Then in the glen where the roses entwine

Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

A soldier is a soldier, and when he's on parade

An order is an order, and has to be obeyed

You've got to do your duty, wherever you may be

And now you're under orders, to hurry home to me

Come to the station, jump from the train

March at the double, down lover's lane

Then in the glen where the roses entwine

Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

The girl who loves a soldier, is either sad or gay

'Cos first of all he's with her, and then he's far away

But soldiers have their duty, to answer to the call

And that is why I'm calling, the loudest of them all

Come to the station, jump from the train

March at the double, down lover's lane

Then in the glen where the roses entwine

Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine.
