The Halliard - Going for a Soldier, Jenny lyrics

I'm going for a soldier Jenny I'm going o'er the rolling sea They've given me a golden guinea Which they say has enlisted me And I'm off to fight for the army As a Lancashire Fusilier Rolling my musket in my arms Instead of my Jenny dear It's no use to fall a-crying Give your senseless weeping o'er Many a day you've heard me sigh You should've been kind before What if heart and spirit's sinking? What if I should come to shame? Be as it may I'm thinking You alone will be to blame And I'm off to fight for the army As a Lancashire Fusilier Rolling my musket in my arms Instead of my Jenny dear Long and dearly I have loved you You must full well have known If I had not faithless proved you Then I never had reckless grown And I'm off to fight for the army As a Lancashire Fusilier Rolling my musket in my arms Instead of my Jenny dear Fare you well the hours are a-flying It's time that I was gone When next another heart you're trying Jenny look unto your own And I'm off to fight for the army As a Lancashire Fusilier Rolling my musket in my arms Instead of my Jenny dear
