rd Fret Intro: (2x) Come all ye lads of high renown And would hear of a fair young maiden And she rode out of a summer's day For to view the soldiers parading They marched so bold and they looked so ga-ay The colours flying and the bands did play And it caused young Mary for to say "I'll wed you, my gallant soldier" And she viewed the soldiers on parade And as they stood at their leisure And Mary to herself did say "At last I've found my treasure But oh, how cruel my parents must be-e To banish my darling so far from me But I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee You wild, undaunted soldier" INTERLUDE: (2x) "Oh, Mary dear, your parents love I pray don't be unruly For when you're in a foreign land Believe me, you'll rue it surely And if in battle I might fall_ By a shot from an angry cannonball And you so far from your daddy's hall Be advised by your gallant soldier" Instrumental:
