Jimmie Rodgers - Soldier, Won't You Marry Me? Lyrics

Soldier soldier will you marry me with your musket fifen drum
Oh how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I've got no shoes to put on to put on
Got no shoes to put on

So off to the cobbler she did go
Fast as she could run
And she bought him a pair of the finest there
And the soldier put them on them on
The soldier put them on

Now soldier soldier will you marry me
With your musket fife and drum
Well how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I got no socks to put on to put on
Got no socks to put on

So off to the haberdasher she did go
Fast as she could run
And she bought him a pair of the finest there
And the soldier put them on them on
The soldier put them on

Now soldier soldier will you marry me
With your musket fife and drum
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I got no pants to put on to put on
I got no pants to put on

So off to the tailor she did go
Fast as she could run
And she bought him a pair of the finest there
And the soldier put them on them on
The soldier put them on

Now soldier soldier will you marry me
With your musket fife and drum
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you
With a wife and a baby at home
