Wicked Soldier

Oh tell the tale of the wicked soldier
Oh tell the tale of the wicked man
Oh tell the tale of the wicked soldier
Oh tell the tale of the wicked man
They say they heard him cry the fool’s prayer
They say they heard him cry the fool
They say they heard him cry the fool’s prayer
They say that they just say that
For oh my love’s by the old tin wall
She’s waiting there she’s waiting there for me My love’s by the old tin wall
She’s waiting there — she’s waiting there for me Some say the rope, she is hanging
Some say the rope, she is free
Some say the rope, she is hanging
So say the rope to hang upon me So say the wise, she can’t hear you
So say the wise, she can’t hear
So say the wise, she can’t hear you
Some say that — they just say that
For oh, my love’s by the old tin wall
She’s waiting there — she’s waiting there for me All others will compare to her
She’s waiting there — she’s waiting there for me Oh my love I’ve waited here for you
All this time
Oh my love I’ve waited here for you
