Female Drummer Lyrics

	作词 : Carthy, Hart, Hutchings ...
	I was brought up in Yorkshire and when I was sixteen
	Oh I ran away to London and a soldier I became
	Chorus
	With me fine cap and feather, likewise me rattling drum
	They learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum
	With me gentle waist so slender, me fingers long and small
	and to play upon the rub-a-dub the best of them all
	And so many were the pranks that I saw among the french
	And so boldly did I fight me boys although I'm but a wench
	And in buttoning up me trousers so often have I smiled
	To think I lay with a thousand men and a maiden all the while
	Chorus
	And they never found my secret out until this very hour
	When they sent me off to London to keep sentry o'er the Tower
	When a young girl fell in love with me and she found that I was a maid
	She went up to me officer me secret she betrayed
	Chorus
	He unbuttoned then my red tunic and he found that it was true
	‘It's a shame
	, he says, ‘to lose a pretty drummer boy like you
	So now I must return to me mum and dad at home
	And along with me bold comrades it's no longer can I roam
	Chorus
