Soldier, soldier Song Text

Soldier, soldier by Natalie Merchant

Said, â€œsoldier, now soldier
Would you marry me
Before the fight comes on?â€?

â€œhow can I marry
Such a pretty little girl
When I got no suit to put on?â€?

Well she went to the dry goods store
Hard as she could run
She bought the finest
Little suit in the store,
â€œcome on soldier put this onâ€?

Said, â€œsoldier, now soldier
Would you marry me
Before the fight comes on?â€?

â€œhow can I marry
Such a pretty little girl
When I got no shoes to put onâ€?

Well she went to the dry goods store
Hard as she could run
She bought the finest
Little shoes in the store
â€œcome on soldier put these onâ€?

Said, â€œsoldier, now soldier
Would you marry me
Before the fight comes on?â€?

â€œhow can I marry
Such a pretty little girl
When I got no hat to put on?â€?

Well she went to the dry goods store
Hard as she could run
She bought the finest
Little hat in the store
â€œcome on soldier put this onâ€?

Said, â€œsoldier, now soldier
Would you marry me
Before the fight comes on?â€?

â€œhow can I marry
Such an ugly little girl
When I got a pretty wife at home?â€?
