ANNE SHELTONS |
|
1. |
|
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" |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Come to the station |
|
Jump from the train |
|
March at the double |
|
down lover's lane |
|
Then in the glen where the roses en-twine |
|
Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) |
|
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine |
|
2. |
|
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 |
|
(Chorus) |
|
3. |
|
The girl who loves a soldier |
|
Is either sad or gray |
|
'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 |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Come to the station |
|
Jump from the train |
|
March at the double |
|
down lover's lane |
|
Then in the glen where the roses en-twine |
|
Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) |
|
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine |
