[00:16.32]Oh the truth to you I'll tell
[00:20.58]She had sweethearts a-plenty

[00:58.30]She went into a tailor shop

[01:31.82]"Your waist is light and slender
[01:34.33]Your fingers are neat and small
[01:37.45]Your cheeks too red and rosy
[01:39.54]To face the cannonball"
[01:43.03]Oh, to face the cannon-ball
[01:47.50]"I know my waist is slender
[01:49.96]My fingers neat and small

[02:04.95]The war soon being over
[02:07.24]They hunted all around
[02:10.45]And among the dead and dying
[02:12.91]Her darling boy she found
[02:15.99]Oh, her darling boy she found
[02:20.37]She picked him up all in her arms
[02:23.03]And carried him to the town
[02:25.80]And sent for a physician who
[02:28.60]Quickly healed his wounds
[02:31.88]Oh, who quickly healed his wounds
[02:35.76]This couple they got married
[02:38.31]And well they did agree
[02:41.29]This couple they got married
[02:43.98]So why not you and me
[02:47.36]Oh, so why not you and me
