Handsome Polly-O

Handsome Polly-O文本歌词

作词 : Traditional

Oh a regiment of soldiers came to Mohill-O,

A regiment of soldiers came to Mohill-O,

When the captain on parade

He fell in love with a lady's maid.

And the name that she was called was handsome Polly-O.

“Will you list in the army, handsome Polly-O?

Will you list in the army handsome Polly-O?

Ah, you'll get a horse to ride

And your rifle by your side

And a whole band of music going afore ye-O.”

“Didn't I give you your answer long, long ago?

Didn't I give you your answer long, long ago?

That I ne'er intend to roam

Into any foreign shore

Nor to marry a poor soldier in the army-O.”

Now when she come in presence of the captain-O,

And she come in presence of the captain-O,

Ah, she made him there to stand

With his cap and gun in hand

And she laughed him to scorn to his soldiers-O.

The regiment got the rout into Ivy-O,

The regiment got the rout into Ivy-O,

And the captain he fell sick,

And he died all in a week,

And it was all for the love of handsome Polly-O

And all for the love of handsome Polly-O.

Ah, the captain he fell sick,

And he died all in a week,

And it was all for the love of handsome Polly-O.

The soldiers went to mourn for the captain-O,

The soldiers went to mourn for the captain-O.

For if Polly wouldn't do,

They would get another view;

For there were far better girls out in Ivy-O.
