D C G D C G D G C As I was a-walking along Ratcliffe Highway Am D G C D A recruiting party came a-beating my way. G D G C They enlisted me and treated me 'til I did not know Am D G C D And to the Queen's barracks they forced me to go. D G C When first I deserted, I thought myself free Am D G C D Un--til my cruel comrade informed against me. G D G C I was quickly followed after and brought back with speed, Am D G C D I was handcuffed and guarded, heavy irons put on me. D G C Court martial, court martial, they held upon me Am D G C D And the sentence passed upon me, three hundred and three. G D G C May the Lord have mercy on them for their sad cruelty, Am D G C D For now the Queen's duty lies heavy on me. D G C When next I deserted, I thought myself free Am D G C D Un--til my cruel sweetheart informed against me. G D G C I was quickly followed after and brought back with speed Am D G C D I was handcuffed and guarded, heavy irons put on me. D G C Court martial, court martial then quickly was got Am D G C D And the sentence passed upon me, that I was to be shot. G D G C May the Lord have mercy on them for their sad cruelty, Am D G C D For now the Queen's duty lies heavy on me. D G C Then up rode Prince Albert in his carriage and six, Am D G C D Saying, “Where is that young man whose coffin is fixed? G D G C Set him free from his irons and let him go free, Am D G C D For he'll make a good soldier for his Queen and country.”
