(There are two words were I could not put an apostrophe in - (they are I m and we
ll), so just put it in yourself as I have left the space).
AAs I went a waDlking one morEning in MAay
I met a young couple who fondly did sEtray
AOne was a young maid so sweet and so fEair
AAnd the other was a Dsoldier and Ea brave grenadAier
Chorus
AAnd they kissed so sweet and coDmforting as the cElung to each otAher
They went arm and arm along the road like sister and broEther
AThey went arm in arm along the road til they came to a stEream
AAnd they both sat down toDgether love to hear the niEghtingale singA
WeAll out of his knDapsack he toEok a fine fiAddle
And he played her such a merry tune that you ever did Ehear
AAnd he played her such a merry tune that the valley did rEing
AAnd they both sat down tDogether love to hear the nEightingale siAng
Repeat Chorus
WeAll I m off to IDndia for seEven long yeAars
Drinking wines and strong whiskeys instead of cool beEers
AnAd if ever I return again it will be in the sprEing
AnAd we ll both sit down toDgether love to hear the nightEingale siAng
AOh soldier, Oh soldiDer, will youE marry mAe
Oh no said the soldier that never canE be
AFor I have a wife at home in my own couEntry
AAnd she is the sweeDtest thing that you eEver did Asee
Repeat Chorus
