Verse 1
It's of a gentlemen (G major) soldier as
a (D major) sentry he did (G major) stand
He saluted the fair maid be
a (D major) wavin' of the (G major) hand
So boldly then he (D major) kissed and he
(C major) passed it off as a (G major) joke
He drilled her up in the sentry box,
(D major) wrapped up a the
Soldiers (G major) coat
And the drums did go with a rat- ta- ta-

Verse 2
All night they tossed (G major)
and tumbled till (D major) daylight did
Ap (G major) pear
The soldier rose,
put on his clothes, said (D major) fare thee
Well me (G major) dear
For the drums they are a (D major) pounding
and the (C major) fifes did
Sweetly (G major) play
If it weren't for that dear Polly,
then (D major) along with you
I'd (G major) stay
And the drums did go with a rat- ta- ta-
tat and the (C major) fifes
Did loudly (G major) play,
Fare thee well Polly me dear I
(D major) must be going (G major) away
Verse 3
Oh come you gentlemen (G major) soldier,
"Won't you (D major) marry (G major) me?"
"Oh no me dearest,
Polly. Such (D major) things never can (G major) be.?
"I've a wife (D major) already and
(C major) children I have (G major) three
Two wives are allowed in army
but (D major) one is too many for
(G major) Me.?

tat and the (C major) fifes
Did loudly (G major) play,
Fare thee well Polly me dear I
(D major) must be going (G major) away

If anyone comes (G major) a courtin'
you, you can (D major) treat them to a
(G major) Glass
If anyone comes a courtin'
you, you can (D major) say you're a
Country (G major) lass
You don't have to (D major) tell them that
(C major) ever you played this
(G major) Joke
That you were drilled in
the sentry box wrapped up in
The (D major) soldier's (G major) cloak
And the drums did go with a rat- ta- ta-
tat and the (C major) fifes
Did loudly (G major) play,
Fare thee well Polly me dear
I must be (D major) going (G major) away
Verse 5
Oh come you gentlemen (G major) soldier,
when (D major) you tell me (G major) so
Me parents will be angry when
(D major) this they come to (G major) know
And when nine long months
had come and (D major) past, the (C major) poor
Girl she brought (G major) shame
She had a little militia boy
and she didn't know his
Name
And the (G major) drums did go with a rat- ta- ta-
tat and the fifes
Did loudly play,
Fare thee well Polly me dear
I must be (D major) going (G major) away
