The Bold Grenadier Songtext
As I was a walking one morning in May
I spied a young couple a makin′ of hay.
O one was a fair maid and her beauty showed clear
And the other was a soldier, a bold grenadier.
Good morning, good morning, good morning said he
O where are you going my pretty lady?
I'm a going a walking by the clear crystal stream
To see cool water glide and hear nightingales sing.
O soldier, o soldier, will you marry me?
O no, my sweet lady that never can be.
For I′ve got a wife at home in my own country,
Two wives and the army's too many for me.
I spied a young couple a makin′ of hay.
O one was a fair maid and her beauty showed clear
And the other was a soldier, a bold grenadier.
Good morning, good morning, good morning said he
O where are you going my pretty lady?
I'm a going a walking by the clear crystal stream
To see cool water glide and hear nightingales sing.
O soldier, o soldier, will you marry me?
O no, my sweet lady that never can be.
For I′ve got a wife at home in my own country,
Two wives and the army's too many for me.
