Soldier Soldier Lyrics

Soldier Soldier won't you marry me

With your hand grenade and gun?

Oh how can I marry such a pretty girl as you

Before the war is won

So off to the factory she did go

While the soldier lit a fuse

Taking her time on the ammunition line

Singing patriotic tunes

I can't explain why I am feeling so alone

I can't explain it when there's no one in this home

My time is runnin' out and I'm missin' you

I got a job to do for me and you

On the ammunition line

Soldier Soldier won't you marry me

With your hand grenade and gun?

Oh how could I marry such a pretty girl as you

When I'm on the western front

So off to the tavern she did go

For a cocktail and a tune

She bumped her head and woke up in a bed

With a man she never knew

I can't explain why I am feeling so alone

(I feel alone)

I can't explain it when there's no one in this home

My time is runnin'' out and I'm missin' you

I got a job to do for me and you

On the ammunition line

Soldier Soldier won't you marry me

With your hand grenade and gun?

Soldier Soldier won't you marry me

Before the war is won?

Soldier Soldier won't you marry me

Ya know there's a baby on the way!

Soldier Soldier won't you marry me?

Do I even get a say?

Do I ever get a say?

Oh how can I marry such a pretty girl as you

When I died the other day

(Yeah)

I can't explain why I am feeling so alone

(I feel alone)

I can't explain it when there's no one in this home

(No one in this home)

My time is runinn' out and I'm missin'' you

(I'm missing you)

I got a job to do for me and you

Got a job to do for me and you

Got a job to do for me and you

On the ammunition line

On the ammunition line
