Classic Poem

"O soldier, O soldier, won't you marry me now,
To the beat of the fife and the drum?"
"O how can I marry such a pretty little miss
When I have no shoes to put on?"

Now she ran and she ran to the shoe store
As fast as she could run.
She brought back the very, very best,
And the soldier put it on.

"Soldier, O soldier, won't you marry me now,
To the beat of the fife and the drum?"
"How can I marry such a pretty little miss
When I have no suit to put on?"

O she ran and she ran to the clothing store
As fast as she could run.

She brought back the very, very best,
And the soldier put it on.

"O soldier, O soldier, won't you marry me now,
To the beat of the fife and the drum?"
"How can I marry such a pretty little miss
When I have no hat to put on?"

Well, she ran and she ran to the hat store
As fast as she could run.
She brought back the very, very best,
And the soldier put it on.

"Soldier, O soldier, won't you marry me now,
To the beat of the fife and the drum?"
"O how can I marry such a pretty little miss
When I have a wife at home?"
