The pride of all the village,
The fairest to be seen,
The pride of all the village
That might to been a queen,
Has said goodbye to neighbours
left dance and plays
married to a soldier

wandered away.
And the cottage stands neglected,
the garden gathers green,
summer comes unnoticed,
the flowers are never seen;
No one to tie a blossom
Or clean a weed away;
She's married to a soldier
wandered away

wandered away
And the neighbours wonder at her,
And surely well they may,
To think no one could to flatter
Her heart to go away.
But the cocked hat and the feather
appear very gay
She's married to a soldier
wandered away
