The Charmer

A soldier is obsessed with his love - a
True charmer

For the charmer courted me
And she stole away my love
When my heart was young and fair
She was the maid beyond compare

When my head was hanging low
Well, she fought through frost and snow
In my arms she'll rest away
For the charmer I would name

Tell it to the charmer, so fine and pretty
Farewell charmer

She brought that summer fright
We were separate every night
On those winter days to prove
She's away on the morning dew

I wish but it's in vain
For the soldier I became
Fighting lands I'd never see
For the grass will cover me

Tell it to the charmer, so fine and pretty
Farewell charmer

Well her bed is fine as silk
The sheets as white as milk
When my heart has gone away
I'll leave a bed as cold as clay

She has two hearts I have none
All alone when I am done
To that charmer I endure
For the price of love and war

So tell it to the charmer, she's so fine
And pretty
Farewell charmer
