Barrack - Room Ballads Kısa Özet

*Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
I’ll down an’ die with my true love!*
*The pit we dug’ll ‘ide ‘im an’ the twenty men beside ‘im—
An’ you’d best go look for a new love.*

*Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
Do you bring no sign from my true love?*
*I bring a lock of ‘air that ‘e allus used to wear,
An’ you’d best go look for a new love.*

*Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
O then I know it’s true I’ve lost my true love!*
*An’ I tell you truth again—when you’ve lost the feel o’ pain
You’d best take me for your true love.*
True love! New love!
Best take ‘im for a new love,
The dead they cannot rise, an’ you’d better dry your eyes,
An’ you’d best take ‘im for your true love.
