歌曲歌詞
As sweet Polly Oliver lay musing in bed
A sudden strange fancy came into her head
Nor father nor mother shall make me false prove
I'll 'list as a soldier
And follow my love
So early next morning she softly arose
And dressed herself up in her
Dead brother's clothes
She cut her hair close
And she stained her face brown
And went for a soldier to fair London Town
Then up spoke the sergeant one day at his drill
Now who's good for nursing
A captain he's ill
I'm ready said Polly
To nurse him she's gone
And finds it's her true love all wasted and wan
The first week the docter kept shaking his head
No nursing young fellow can save him he said
But when Pooly Oliver had nursed him back to life
He cried you have cherished
Him as if you were his wife
O then Polly Oliver
She burst into tears
And told the good doctor her hopes and her fears
And very shortly after for better or for worse
The captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse
