Lyr Req: Soldier Song

I've just remembered the chorus to a sodier song that used to be very popular about 30 or more years ago, but I can't remember the tune or the verses. Can anyone help before I drive myself mad?
The chorus is something like:
The drum the go with a ra ta ta tat and the fifes do loudly play
Fare the well sweet Polly me love I must be going away

We 'do' The Gentleman Soldier with the same lyric as posted , as opposed to The Sentry Box ,which has slight differences - The link gives you several options .
