[00:20.61] There are two young lovers, they're pledged to each other's hands [00:25.08] They meet by the river, to talk of their marriage plans [00:29.60] "I'm confessing," he said, "I've signed for a soldier [00:34.75] "And I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land" [00:40.45] She watches the pretty young soldiers [00:44.35] As they march themselves off to the war [00:49.35] She wonders if she'll ever see him again [00:54.48] Somehow she doubts it, but she has to be sure [00:58.82] So she rode into town on the very next day [01:03.92] And dressed herself up all in man's array [01:08.73] With a sword and a musket, she took the King's shilling [01:13.68] And to fight in some foreign war [01:15.44] She said, "Yes!" She'd be willing [01:19.20] All you pretty young soldiers [01:23.02] In those uniforms that you've never worn [01:28.43] The Captain will come to inspect you all now [01:33.18] Let me down, and you'll all wish you'd never been born [01:38.07] The Captain, astride of his horse's grey flanks [01:42.65] Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks [01:47.79] His gaze it is fixed, and she's starting to shake [01:51.73] He said, "Follow me, soldier, and listen to the offer that I'm willing to make" [01:58.17] Come you pretty young soldier [02:03.16] Come and be my right hand [02:07.45] You're having this strange effect on my soul [02:11.83] That I don't quite understand [02:17.25] Captain, oh Captain, I've a confession to make [02:21.94] I love someone else and my heart it will break [02:26.80] And as she released her brown hair from a band [02:30.66] It tumbled all down her shoulders and into his hands [02:36.97] Oh, you pretty young soldier [02:41.92] Come and take my right hand [02:46.58] You're having this strange effect on my soul [02:51.05] And now I think, I understand [02:57.71]
