it fell out upon one martinmas time
when snow lay on the border
there came a troop of soldiers here
to take up their winter quarters

[chorus]
with me right fol adle edle idle a-dee-o
with me right fol adle edle eyrie

and they rode east and they rode west
and they rode o’er the border
and there they met with a nicе little girl
and she was a farmer’s daughtеr

and they made her swear a solemn oath
with a salt tear in her eye-o
that she would come to the quarter gates
when no one did her spy-o

and she’s gone to the barber’s shop
to the barber’s shop went soon-o
and them cut her long yellow hair
as short as any dragoon-o

and she’s gone to the tailor’s shop
and dresses in soldiers clothes-o
two long pistols down by her side
and a nice little boy was she-o
and she’s gone to the quarter gates
and loudly she does call-o
there comes a troop of soldiers here
and we must have lodgings all-o

and the quartermaster he comes down
and he gives her half a crown-o
go find your lodgings in the town
for here there is no room-o

but she’s moved nearer to the gates
and louder she does call-o
room, room, you gentlemen
we must have lodgings all-o

o the quartermaster he comes down
and he gives her eighteen pence-o
go find your lodgings in the town
for tonight there comes a wench-o

o she took a whistle from her side
and she blew it loud and shrill-o
you’re all very free with your eighteen pence
but you’re not for a girl at all-o

and she took the garters from her knees
and the ribbons from her hair-o
she’s tied them around the quarter gates
as a token she’s been there-o
and when they found that it was her
they tried to have her taken
but she’s clapped her spurs to her horses side
and she’s galloped home a maiden
