OR RUB A DUB A DUB
When I was a fair maid at the age of sweet
sixteen
From my parents I did run away a soldier to become
I enlisted in the army a
soldier for to be
And they learnt me tae play upon the rub a dub a dee
With my
nice cap and feathers if you only could have seen
You'd have sworn in your very heart a young
man I had been
With my gentle waist so slender and my fingers long and small
I could
rattle up the rub a dub a dee the best of them all
Oh many is the prank I played upon the
field
And many was the young man his love to me revealed
Many a prank have I seen among
the French
And so boldly I fought, though only a wench
With my regiment at the front
all the time I might have been
With the brave Duke of York at the siege of
Valenciennes
But was favored by my officer for fear I might be slain
I was sent home to
England for recruiting back again
Many a night in the guard room I have lain
I never
was afraid to lie down with the men
At the pulling off my breeches I oftimes gave a
smile
To think I lay with a regiment, and a maiden all the while
That might never
have been known until this very hour
But they sent me up to London to keep sentry in the
Tower
A lady fell in love with me, I told her I was a maid
She went to my officer, and the
secret she betrayed
My officer sent for me to see if that was true
I told him that
it was - What else could I do
I told him it was and he smiled at me and said
It's a pity
for to lose you, such a drummer as you made
But for your valiant conduct at the siege of
Valciennes
A bounty you shall get my girl, a bounty from the king
But should the wars
arise again and the King be wanting men
I'll put on my regimentals and I'll fight for him
again
