[verse 1]
oh, t’of a gentleman soldier, as a sentry he did stand
he saluted a fair maid with the waving of his hand
and boldly then he kissed her and he passed it off as a joke
then he drilled her up to a sentry box, wrapped up in a soldier’s cloak

[chorus]
and the drums, they go rat-a-tat-tat
and the fifes, they loudly play
say fare-thee-well, polly, my dear
i must be going away
[verse 2]
all night they tossed and tumbled, ’til daylight did appear
the soldier rose, put on his clothes, said, “fare-thee-well, me dear
for the drums are a-beating and fifes, they loudly play
if it weren’t for that, polly, my dear, with you, i’d long to stay”

[chorus]
and the drums, they go rat-a-tat-tat
and the fifes, they loudly play
say fare-thee-well, polly, my dear
i must be going away

[verse 3]
“oh come, me gentleman soldier, won’t you marry me?”
“oh no, my dearest polly, such things, they never could be
for married i am already, and children, i have three
two wives are allowed in the army, but one’s too many for me.”

[chorus]
and the drums, they go rat-a-tat-tat
and the fifes, they loudly play
say fare-thee-well, polly, my dear
i must be going away

[verse 4]
“if anyone comes a-courting you, you treat them to a glass
if anyone comes a-courting you, you say you’re a country lass
you needn’t even tell them that you ever played a joke
that you ever went to a sentry box, wrapped up in a soldier’s cloak
[chorus]
and the drums, they go rat-a-tat-tat
and the fifes, they loudly play
say fare-thee-well, polly, my dear
i must be going away

[verse 5]
“oh come, me gentleman soldier, why didn’t you tell me so?
me parents will be ang-ery when this they come to know.”
when nine long months were up and past, the young girl, she brought shame
she had a little militia boy and she couldn’t tell his name

[chorus]
and the drums, they go rat-a-tat-tat
and the fifes, they loudly play
say fare-thee-well, polly, my dear
i must be going away

and the drums, they go rat-a-tat-tat
and the fifes, they loudly play
say fare-thee-well, polly, my dear
i must be going away
