Said, "soldier, now soldier

Would you marry me

Before the fight comes on?"

"how 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,

"come on soldier put this on"

Said, "soldier, now soldier

Would you marry me

Before the fight comes on?"

"how 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

"come on soldier put these on"

Said, "soldier, now soldier

Would you marry me

Before the fight comes on?"

"how 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

"come on soldier put this on"

Said, "soldier, now soldier

Would you marry me

Before the fight comes on?"

"how can I marry

Such an ugly little girl

When I got a pretty wife at home?"
