in King George's Name,
Thou art a fine fellow,
you are able and free
To ſerve as a ſoldier
in the reg'ment with me
In the bold thirty ſecond
that's loyal and true,
She ſaid, Sir, I am, and I'll
go along with you.
Then away to the captain,
which pleaſed her well,
Who down on the drum
ten guineas did tell;
He ſaid, here young man,
take it from the drum's head,
Then go with your corporal
and he'll find you a bed.
She learned her exerciſe
ſo wonderful well,
That few in the whole regiment
could her excel,
Her arms and accoutrements
ſo clean and ſo neat,
She behav'd like a ſoldier
in all things complete.
Her love it was ſo great,
for the young captain bold,
