High Germany

[00:05.93] O Polly love, O Polly, the road has now begun
[00:11.17] And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum
[00:16.76] Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me
[00:21.76] I'll take you to the war me love in High Germany
[00:27.71] Willy love, o Willy come list' what I do say
[00:32.95] My feet they are so tender, I cannot march away
[00:38.22] And besides my dearest Willy I am with child by thee
[00:43.67] Not fitted for the war me love in High Germany
[00:54.51] I'll buy for you a horse me love
[00:57.75] And on it you shall ride
[01:00.28] And all my life shall I be riding by your side
[01:05.23] We'll stop at every alehouse and drink when we are dry
[01:10.69] We'll be true to one another
[01:13.36] Get married bye and bye
[01:16.46] O cursed be them cruel wars that ever they should rise
[01:21.31] And out of merry England press many a man likewise
[01:26.58] They pressed my true love from me
[01:29.57] Likewise my brothers three
[01:32.19] And sent them to the wars me love in High Germany
[01:43.11] My friends I do not value nor my foes I do not fear
[01:48.10] Now my love has left me I wander far and near
[01:53.52] And when my baby it is born and smiling on my knee
[01:58.59] I will think of lovely Willy in High Germany
[02:04.26] O Polly love, O Polly, the road has now begun
[02:09.22] And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum
[02:14.63] Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me
[02:19.85] I'll take you to the war me love in High Germany
[02:27.50]
