|
I courted a man from the |
|
Lancs Fusiliers |
|
He gave me his heart and so |
|
I loved him dear |
|
For he took me a-courting and he taught me to dance |
|
Then he marched with the infantry over to |
|
France He told me to wait he'd be back in a year |
|
Now seventeen months |
|
I have wished he were here |
|
And I'll wait no longer, |
|
I'll take what |
|
I can So I'm learning to love with another young man |
|
Learning to love |
|
Learning to love |
|
Tired of the waiting |
|
I'm learning to love |
|
So I courted a man from the |
|
Royal Horse |
|
Blues He soon had to leave and |
|
I said I'd be true |
|
Now he's gone for his duty not seven weeks yet |
|
So I've found a new young man to help me forget |
|
I courted a man from the |
|
Kent Volunteer |
|
Now he's gone a-marching, and |
|
I wish he were here |
|
What can I do while my love is away? |
|
But court with a soldier from the |
|
Royal Scots |
|
Grey One day they'll come back and then |
|
I'll be true |
|
For I've learnt how to love and |
|
I've learnt how to choose |
|
To every young woman who waits at the shore |
|
Love while you're waiting; you'll learn so much more |
