SONG: Soldier Will You Marry Me ARTIST: Jimmie Rodgers No, not Jimmie Rodgers as in the country musician who did Train Whistle Blows and so forth. I'm referring to a pop musician from the 50s, who happens to share the same name and who gave us this hilarious song, about a soldier who receives a marriage proposal from a woman, but refuses due to lack of clothes and in the end is forced to confess that he's already married and has recently started a family.
F#Soldier, soldier, will you marry me With your musket, fife and dC#rum? F#Oh how can I marry such a pBretty girl as you F#When I’ve got no shoC#es to put onF#, put on? BGot no sC#hoes to put oF#n?
F#So off to the cobbler she did go As fast as she could rC#un F#And she brought him a pair of the fBinest there F#And the soldier pC#ut them oF#n, them on BThe soldier C#put them oF#n
F#Now, soldier, soldier, will you marry me With your musket, fife and dC#rum? F#Oh how can I marry such a pBretty girl as you F#When I’ve got no socC#ks to put onF#, put on? BGot no sC#ocks to put oF#n?
F#So off to the haberdasher she did go As fast as she could rC#un F#And she brought him a pair of the fBinest there F#And the soldier pC#ut them oF#n, them on BThe soldier C#put them oF#n
