[Verse 1]
  Am                 G             Am            G
I was brought up in Yorkshire and when I was sixteen
                  Em           Am          Em
Oh I ran away to London and a soldier I became


[Chorus]
         D            G            Am                G                      Em           
With me fine cap and feather, likewise me rattling drum they learned me to play upon the

         D                G          Am                G                         Em         
With me gentle waist so slender, me fingers long and small, and to play upon the rubadub the

 best of them all

[Verse 2]
        Am             G           Am              G
And so many were the pranks that I saw among the French
                     Em                 Am              Em
And so boldly did I fight, me boys, although I'm but a wench
        Am               G         Am             G
And in buttoning up me trousers so often have I smiled
                        Em                Am             Em
To think I lay with a thousand men and a maiden all the while

[Verse 3]
          Am             G           Am             G
And they never found my secret out until this very hour
                          Em             Am              Em
When they sent me off to London to keep sentry o'er the Tower
        Am                 G                    Am                 G
When a young girl fell in love with me and she found that I was a maid
                   Em             Am                Em
She went up to me officer and me secret she betrayed

      Am                   G             Am                G
He unbuttoned then my red tunic and he found that it was true
                              Em             Am              Em
'It's a shame’, he says, 'to lose a pretty drummer boy like you’
    Am           G         Am              G
So now I must return to me mum and dad at home
                        Em               Am           Em
And along with me bold comrades it's no longer can I roam
