The wording of the different versions of this song doesn't vary all that much. For what it's worth, this is how I remember the song as sung by Bobby Clancy and Peg Clancy Power. I don't know in what order they listed the items of clothing. I'm not sure of the album title either; it was a Tradition album featuring the Carrick-on-Suir Clancy family (same family the Clancy Bros. of the professional group belonged to). Perhaps called The Lark in the Morning?

Like 'sophocleese', I also sometimes add a verse about the woman shooting the deceitful man, but I've never heard it that way!

SOLDIER, SOLDIER

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me now
With a heigh, with a ho, with a sound of a drum
Oh no, fair maid, I couldn't marry you;
Because I have no hat to put on

So she ran to the shop as fast as she could run
With a heigh, with a ho, with a sound of a drum
And she got him a hat of the very very best,
Saying, "Here, my small man put this on."

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me now
With a heigh, with a ho, with a sound of a drum
Oh no, fair maid, I couldn't marry you;
Because I have no shoes to put on

So she ran to the shop as fast as she could run
With a heigh, with a ho, with a sound of a drum
And she got him some shoes of the very very best,
Saying, "Here, my small man put this on."

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me now
With a heigh, with a ho, with a sound of a drum
Oh no, fair maid, I couldn't marry you;
Because I have no coat to put on

So she ran to the shop as fast as she could run
With a heigh, with a ho, with a sound of a drum
And she got him a coat of the very very best,
Saying, "Here, my small man put this on."

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me now
With a heigh, with a ho, with a sound of a drum
Oh no, fair maid, I couldn't marry you;
Because I have my own wife at home
