Handsome Polly-O

    作词 : Traditional

    Oh a regiment of soldiers came to Mohill-O,

    A regiment of soldiers came to Mohill-O,

    When the captain on parade

    He fell in love with a lady's maid.

    And the name that she was called was handsome Polly-O.

    “Will you list in the army, handsome Polly-O?

    Will you list in the army handsome Polly-O?

    Ah, you'll get a horse to ride

    And your rifle by your side

    And a whole band of music going afore ye-O.”

    “Didn't I give you your answer long, long ago?

    Didn't I give you your answer long, long ago?

    That I ne'er intend to roam

    Into any foreign shore

    Nor to marry a poor soldier in the army-O.”

    Now when she come in presence of the captain-O,

    And she come in presence of the captain-O,

    Ah, she made him there to stand

    With his cap and gun in hand

    And she laughed him to scorn to his soldiers-O.

    The regiment got the rout into Ivy-O,

    The regiment got the rout into Ivy-O,

    And the captain he fell sick,

    And he died all in a week,

    And it was all for the love of handsome Polly-O

    And all for the love of handsome Polly-O.

    Ah, the captain he fell sick,

    And he died all in a week,

    And it was all for the love of handsome Polly-O.

    The soldiers went to mourn for the captain-O,

    The soldiers went to mourn for the captain-O.

    For if Polly wouldn't do,

    They would get another view;

    For there were far better girls out in Ivy-O.
