I am looking for the composer and title of this song I heard on a recording years ago. I believe the composer is from the U.K. but I'm not positive. Thanks for your help!

And to see how my true love comes smiling And to see how my true love comes in It would make any pauper feel happy It would make every nightingale sing

Oh me love, he's a soldier for freedom Oh me love, he's the one I adore, As he stands there so tall and so handsome And he says he'll be mine forever more

Then one day he arose and went from me Saying wait for me darling I return When the rest of the fighting is over And the final victory is won

Oh the city's no place for a farmer And the riots no place for a child And the battle's no place for my true love And black is no colour for a bride

And so on....
