[Verse 1]
Soldier, soldier, will you marry me now
Oh, the fife and the drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl
When I have no coat to put on, on?
When I have no coat to put on?

So, she ran, and she ran
To the coat store
Fast as she could run
And she bought him a coat
Of the very very best
And the soldier put it on, on
And the the soldier put it on

[Verse 2]
Soldier, soldier, will you marry me now
Oh, the fife and the drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl
When I have no shoes to put on, on?
When I have no shoes to put on?

So, she ran, and she ran
To the shoe store
Fast as she could run
And she bought him some shoes
Of the very very best
And the soldier put them on, on
And the soldier put them on

[Verse 3]
Soldier, soldier, will you marry me now
Oh, the fife and the drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl
With a wife and three children at home, home?
With a wife and three children at home?
