High Germany - Martin Carthy

Paroles de la chanson High Germany:

O Polly love, O Polly, the road has now begun

And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum

Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me

I’ll take you to the war me love in high Germany

Willy love, o Willy come list' what I do say

My feet they are so tender, I cannot march away

And besides my dearest Willy I am with child by thee

Not fitted for the war me love in high Germany

I’ll buy for you a horse me love

And on it you shall ride

And all my life shall I be riding by your side

We’ll stop at every alehouse and drink when we are dry

We’ll be true to one another

Get married bye and bye

O cursed be them cruel wars that ever they should rise

And out of merry England press many a man likewise

They pressed my true love from me

Likewise my brothers three

And sent them to the wars me love in high Germany

My friends I do not value nor my foes I do not fear

Now my love has left me I wander far and near

And when my baby it is born and smiling on my knee

I will think of lovely Willy in high Germany

O Polly love, O Polly, the road has now begun

And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum

Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me

I’ll take you to the war me love in high Germany
