A Soldier's Song

Tipper, tapper 

Off we go, to afar 

Stimmer, stammer 

Then we go, to a war 

Take me home 

oh maiden fair 

Take me far 

away from here

A grunt and pant 

the soldier's song 

and through a rant 

It still will pang  

A step in drone away from home 

To a goal I still don't know 

That's afoul 

Take me home 

oh maiden fair 

Take me far 

away from here

I am done 

(with this war 

Let them come 

(I am set ashore 

I found my maiden away from here 

She sat in wonder of people there 

She knows not yet for neither do I 

But I'm willing to bet we're caught by 

A set of eyes
