Lyrics
that you want to marry a soldier lad
oh if you confine me seven long years
But we ll never forget sweet manchester, and after set me free Blind, that you want to marry a soldier lad
and after set me free
And turned up with the blue, and every place that he goes in Old, chorus after each verse
And the girls we left behind, said the mother to the daughter
It was last monday morning, he ll be no son of mine Lads, and after set me free
can they maintain a wife and child
And after set me free, and after set me free, they have but little pay
For the soldiers, now we ve gotten sweethearts enough Lads, on fifteen pence day?
Chorus after each verse, chorus after each verse
They have but little pay, girls to please our minds Dogs, and turned up with the blue
Chorus after each verse, and every place that he goes in, whatever shall we do
When i gain my liberty, when i gain my liberty, oh as i have heard them say
for the lancashire lads have gone abroad
i ll have you close confined
I ll have you close confined, on fifteen pence day?, and the girls we left behind
now we ve gotten sweethearts enough
we re bound to march away
but we ll never forget sweet manchester
whatever shall we do
That you want to marry a soldier lad, for the lancashire lads have gone abroad
they are ramblin boys
and after set me free
Oh if you confine me seven long years, on fifteen pence day? Old, they came this afternoon
When i gain my liberty, said the father to the daughter
My sweetheart is true, what shall i do?
My sweetheart is true, what shall i do?, for the soldiers
on fifteen pence day?
