Courted a lady through honor

Her beauty shone so bright

because he was so bold

Soldier, oh soldier,
C 
it's I would be thy bride,
G 
But for fear of my father,
some danger might be tied.
Then he put on sword and pistol,
C 
and he hung him by his side,
G 
Swore he would be married,
D 
G 
no matter what be tied.

G 
And he took her to the parson,
and of course home again
C 
G 
There he met her father
D 
G 
and seven armoured men
Let us fly, says the lady,
C 
I fear we shall be slain
G

Hold your hand, cried the soldier,
D 
and never fear again
G

G 
Fa -la -la -la, fa -la -la -la -la -la -la -la,

Then he pulled out sword and pistol,
C 
and he caused them to rattle
G 
The lady held his horse
D

while the soldier fought in battle
Hold your hand, cried the old man,
C 
do not be so bold
G 
You shall have my daughter
D

Fa -la -la -la, fa -la -la -la -la -la -la -la,

fa -la -la -la, fa -la -la -la
Ride on, said the lady,
the portion is too small
C 
G 
Hold your hand, cried the old man,
D 
G 
you shall have it all
Then he took them right straight home,
C 
and he called them son and dear
G 
Not because he loved them,
D 
G 
but only out of fear
D

Fa -la -la -la, fa -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
