thirteen pence a day - john jeffreys lyrics

Loading...

the queen she sent to look for me
the sergeant he did say
“young man, a soldier will you be
for thirteen pence a day?”

for thirteen pence a day did i
take off the things i wore
and i have marched to where i lie
and i shall march no more

my mouth is dry, my shirt is wet
my blood runs all away
so now i shall not die in debt
for thirteen pence a day

to*morrow after new young men
the sergeant he must see
for things will all be over then
between the queen and me

and i shall have to bate my price
for in the grave, they say
is neither knowledge nor device
nor thirteen pence a day
