W:Come dress yourself all in your best and come along with me, W:and I'll take you to the war, me love, in high Germany. W: W:Oh Willy, love, oh Willy, come list what I do say. W:My feet they are so tender, I cannot march away. W:And besides, my dearest Willy, I am with child by thee. W:Not fitted for the war, me love, in high Germany. W: W:I'll buy for you a horse, me love, and on it you shall ride. W:And all my delight shall be a-riding by your side. W:We'll stop at every alehouse and drink when we are dry. W:We'll be true to one another, get married bye and bye. W: W:Oh, cursed be them cruel wars wherever they should rise, W:and out of merry England press many a man likewise. W:They pressed my true love from me, likewise my brothers three, W:and sent them to the wars, me love, in high Germany W: W:My friends I do not value, my foes I do not fear. W:Now my love has left me I wander far and near. W:And when my baby it is born and smiling on my knee, W:I'll think of lovely Willy in High Germany. W: W:Oh Polly, love, oh Polly, the rout has now begun W:And we must go a-marching to the beating of a drum W:Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me W:I'll take you to the war, me love, in high Germany
