Early one morning, one bright summers' day
Twenty-four ladies were
making their way
A regiment of soldiers were marching nearby
The drummer on one of them
cast a rude eye
And it's so hard fortune.
He went to his comrade and this he did
say:
'Twenty-four ladies I saw yesterday,
And one of them has my poor heart won,
And
if I can't have her I'm surely undone'
etc.
Early next morning the drummer
arose
And dressed himself up in a suit of fine clothes.
A watch in each pocket, a sword in
his hand
He went to the lady, she stepped on the strand.
etc.
'Oh say, little
drummer, pray what do you mean?
My father's a man of great honor and means
I'm his own
duly daughter that ever can be!
Don't you think, little drummer, you're making too
free?'
etc.
The drummer got up for to bid her farewell
'I'll soon send my soul
to Heaven or Hell!
You've wounded my heart and you've left me no cure
Inside of five
minutes I'll die at your door!'
etc.
'Oh, we'll go to the stable and saddle a
horse
To London we'll ride, and married we'll be!
And what will we say when the deed it is
done?
I'll tell them that you won me with a roll of your drum .'
etc.
