W:I'm going for a soldier, Jenny,
W:I'm going o'er the rolling sea,
W:They've given me a golden guinea,
W:That they say has listed me.
W:
W:ch
W:And I'm off to fight for the army
W:As a Lancashire fusilier
W:Holding me musket in me arms
W:Instead of me Jenny dear

W:Tis no use to fall a crying,
W:Give your senseless weeping o'er,
W:Many a day you have heard me sighing
W:You should have been kind before.

W:'Tis very fine and pretty, Jenny,
W:Now to wish that I should stay,
W:But, indeed, I'm thinking, Jenny,
W:We'll not meet this many a day.

W:What if heart and spirit sinking ?
W:What if I should come to shame?
W:Be it as it may, I'm thinking,
W:You alone will be to blame.

W:Long and dearly I have loved you,
W:As you must full well have known,
W:If I had not faithless proved you,
W:I had never reckless grown:

W:But, fare you well, the hours are flying
W:Time it is that I was gone, trying,
W:When next another heart you are
W:Jenny, look unto your own.
