ARE you going for a soldier with your curly yellow hair, br And a scarlet coat instead of the smock you used to wear? br Are you going to drive the foe as you used to drive the plough? br Are you going for a soldier now? br br br I am going for a soldier, and my tunic is of red br And I'm tired of woman's chatter, and I'll hear the drum instead; br I will break the fighting line as you broke your plighted vow, br For I'm going for a soldier now.
