A SOLDIER LAD
A pretty fair miss
Walked out in the garden.
A soldier lad came riding by,
I see you are so fair a lady,
Oh, pretty fair miss, won't you
Marry me?
Oh, I have a true love in the army
And he's been gone for seven long years,
And if he's gone for seven years longer,
No man on earth will marry me.
Suppose your true love he is drowned,
Suppose he's on some battle field slain
Or perhaps he's took some fair girl to marry
And never return to you again.
If he's drowned I hope he's happy
Or if he's on some battle slain
And if he's took some fair girl to marry
I love the girl that married him •
•
Oh, come to my arms, my dearest lover,
Oh, fly to my arms, my dearest dear,
Your true love has returned from the army,
And tomorrow night I'll marry you.

HATTIE BELLE
Hattie
If you
If she
If she
Belle, go ask your Mama
can be my darling bride;
says yes, come back and tell me
says no, we'll run away.
My Mama says she is not willing,
My Papa says I am too young;
But oh, kind sir, I am not willing
To run away and marry you.
Kind, Miss, I have some gold and silver,
Kind Miss, I have a house and land;
Kind Miss, I have a ship on the ocean,
We'll sail to some distant land.
I do not vmnt
I do not want
I do not want
All I want is
your gold and silver,
your house and land;
your ship on the ocean,
a handsome man.
I have a sweetheart in the army,
For seven long years he has been gone,
And if he stays for seven years longer,
No man on earth shall marry me.
Perhaps your sweetheart has been droNned
Or gone to some fair and distant land,
Or to some fair young girl has married;
You'll never see his face again.
But if he's drowned, I hope he's happy,
Or gone to some fair and distant land,
Or some fair young girl has married,
I love the one that marries him.
You're
You ' re
Or you
Who is
not the man of noble honor,
not the man I took you to be, ,
wouldrot impose on a single lady
a bride prepared to be.
He ran his hands all through his pockets,
His fingers, they were slender and small.
He then drew forth a nickle-placed diamond,
And at his feet his love did fall.
He picked her up all in his arms,
Kisses gave her, one, two, and three,
I am your sweetheart from the army,
And have come home for to marry you.
