THE SOLDIER AND THE SAILOR
(traditional)

A sol-dier and a sail-or were a-walk-ing one day
They walked til they came to an old hol-low tree
said_the sol-dier to_the sail-or Let this our pulpit be
And what-ev-er we pray for, we'll hope soon to see

Now the first thing we'll pray for wi-ll be some good beer
Said the sailor to the soldier I wish it was here
For where we get one pint I hope we'll get ten
and nev-er want for liq-our cried_the sold-ier a-men

Now the next thing we'll pray for wi-ll be some good beef
Said the sailor to the soldier: We'll eat with re-lief
For where we get one pound I hope we'll get ten
and nev-er go _ hun-gry, cried_the sol-dier: a-men

Now the next thing we'll pray for will be our grac-ious Queen
And may she live as happy and long may she reign
And where she get one man, I hope she_will have ten
May she never want for boun-ty, cried_the sold-dier: a-men
