Paul Brady - Mary and the soldier

^GCome all you lads of ^Chigh re^Gnown That will hear of a ^D7fair young ^Gmaiden And she roved out on a ^Csummer's ^Gday For to view the ^D7soldier's pa^Grading They march so bold and they ^Clook so ^Ggay ^D7 The ^Emcolors flyin' and the ^Cbands did ^D7play And it ^Gcaused young ^EmMary ^Cfor to ^D7say, I'll ^Gwed you me ^D7gallant ^Gsoldier" ^{C D G}

^GShe viewed the soldiers ^Con para^Gde And as they ^D7stood at their ^Gleisure Young Mary to her^Cself did ^Gsay: "At last I ^D7found my ^Gtreasure But oh how cruel my ^Cparents must ^Gbe ^D7 To ^Embanish my darlin' so ^Cfar from ^D7me Well I'll ^Gleave them ^Emall and I'll ^Cgo with ^D7thee Me ^Gbold un^D7daunted ^Gsoldier" ^{C D G}

^G"Oh Mary dear, your ^Cparents' ^Glove, I pray don't ^D7be un^Gruly For when you're in a ^Cforeign ^Gland, Believe me you'll ^D7rue it ^Gsurely Perhaps in battle ^CI might ^Gfall^D7 From a ^Emshot from an angry ^Ccannon ^D7ball And ^Gyou so ^Emfar from your ^CDaddy's ^D7hall Be ad^Gvised by a ^D7gallant ^Gsoldier." ^{C D G}

^G"Oh I have fifty guineas ^Cin my ^Gcoat, Likewise a ^D7heart that's ^Gbolder And I'd leave them all and I'll ^Cgo with ^Gyou Me bold un^D7daunted ^Gsoldier So don't say no but ^Clet me ^Ggo ^D7 And ^EmI will face the ^Cdaring ^D7foe And we'll ^Gmarch to^Emgether ^Cto and ^D7fro And I'll ^Gwed you, my ^D7gallant ^Gsoldier" ^{C D G}

^GAnd when he saw her ^Cloyal^Gty And Mary ^D7so true-^Ghearted He said: "Me darling, ^Cmarried ^Gwe'll be, And nothing but ^D7death will ^Gpart us And when we're in a ^Cforeign ^Gland^D7 I'll ^Emguard you, darling, with ^Cmy right ^D7hand And ^Ghopes that ^EmGod might ^Cstand a ^D7friend To ^GMary and her ^D7gallant ^Gsoldier" ^{C D G}
