Martyr was time,

snow lay on the border.

There came a troop of soldiers here
C

To take up their winter quarters
C
F
C

And they rode high and they rode north
C
F
C
And they rode o 'er the border
F
C

And there they met with a nice little girl
She was a farmer's daughter
F
Bits me right,

I saw a tear in her eye, oh
Dm
F
She would come to the quarter gates
G
F
C
G
But no one would her spy
C
F
C
G
But she's gone to the barbershop,
C
F
C
to the barbershop well soon, oh
F
She's bathed and cut off
C
G
her long yellow hair,
as short as any dragoon
C
F
C
G
And she's gone to the tailor shop,
C
F
C
dressed in soldier's clothes, oh
Dm
F
G
Put two loud pis tols down by your side
And write, little boy, a shield
F
Make me rifle,

C

And loudly she does call,
F
C
G
There comes a troop of soldiers here
We must have lodgings, oh, no
C
F
C
G
And the quartermaster, he comes down
C
F
C
He gives her half a crown, oh
Dm
F
Find your lodgings in the town
G
C
G
Tonight there is no room
C
F
G
Let me rise, my lady, this I will do
C
F
G
Let me rise, lady, this I will do
C
Dm
F
G
So she moved closer to the gate,
C
F
C
louder she does call on
Dm
F
Room, room, you gentlemen,
G
C
G
we must have lodgings all
C
F
C
G
And the quartermaster, he comes down,
C
F
C
he gives their eighteen pence, oh
F
C
G
Go find your lodgings in the town,
tonight here comes a wild show

She blew it loud and shrill, though
Dm

G
You're all very free with your 18 pence
Ah, you're not foreign girl at all
Am

And she took the garter from her knee
Dm
F
And the ribbon from her hair
C
Dm
F
Oh, she tied around the quarter -gates
G
C
G
A token that she'd been there
C
F
C
G
And when they thought that it was her
C

They tried to have her taken
She sloughed her spurs
Dm
F
G
to a horse's side,
