[Verse 1]
G It's of a Gentleman Soldier as a
D G sentry he did stand
D He saluted a fair maiden by a
G waving of his hand
D So then he boldly kissed her and he
G D passed it off as a joke
G He drilled her up in the sentry box
D G wrapped up in a soldier's cloak [Chorus]
G D And the drums are going a rat a
G tat, tat and the fifes they loudly
D play
G Em D Fare you well Polly my dear, I
G must be going away [Verse 2]
G All night they tossed and tumbled
D G till the morning did appear The soldier rose, put on his
D G clothes, and said farewell my dear
D For the drums are loudly beating
G D and the fifes they sweetly play
G If it weren't for that, Polly my
D G dear, with you I'd gladly stay [Chorus]

G If anyone comes a courting you, you
D G can treat them to a glass If anyone comes a courting you, you
D G can say you're a country lass
D You don't have to tell them, that
G D you ever played this joke
G That you got drilled in a sentry
D G box wrapped up in a soldier's cloak [Chorus]
G D And the drums are going a rat a
G tat, tat and the fifes they loudly
D play

[Verse 4]
G Now come you Gentleman Soldier,
D G won't you marry me?
D Oh no my dearest Polly this thing
G can never be
D G For I've a wife already and
D children I have three
G Two wives are allowed in the army,
D G but one's too many for me [Chorus]
G D And the drums are going a rat a
G tat, tat and the fifes they loudly
D play
G Em D Fare you well Polly my dear, I
G must be going away [Verse 5]
G Oh it's come my Gentleman Soldier,
D G why didn't you tell me so?
D My parents will be angry when this
G they come to know
D And when nine months had been and
G D gone the poor girl she brought shame
G She had a little militia boy and
D G she didn't know his name [Chorus]
G D And the drums are going a rat a
G tat, tat and the fifes they loudly
D play
G Em D Fare you well Polly my dear, I
G must be going away
G D And the drums are going a rat a
G tat, tat and the fifes they loudly
D play
G Em D Fare you well Polly my dear, I
G must be going away
