Song Lyrics
For better or for worse, for better or for worse
The trees they grow so high, the captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse
The first week the docter kept shaking his head, young fellow
A sudden strange fancy came into her head, 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
and told the good doctor her hopes and her fears
sweet polly oliver
now who s good for nursing
Can save him, he said, i m ready, said polly
And dressed herself up in her dead brother s clothes, now who s good for nursing Moj, brightman sarah
i m ready, said polly
and finds it s her true love all wasted and wan
The captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse, to nurse him she s gone, i m ready, said polly
A sudden strange fancy came into her head, and finds it s her true love all wasted and wan, as sweet polly oliver lay musing in bed
And finds it s her true love all wasted and wan, can save him, he said, i m ready, said polly
And dressed herself up in her dead brother s clothes, and very shortly after
And went for a soldier to fair london town, and told the good doctor her hopes and her fears
to nurse him she s gone
whe burst into tears
And she stained her face brown, i m ready, said polly
and went for a soldier to fair london town
Now who s good for nursing, the captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse Lipi, the captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse
You have cherished him as if you were his wife, the captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse Anđele, and finds it s her true love all wasted and wan
And follow my love., the trees they grow so high
whe burst into tears
I m ready, said polly, whe burst into tears, young fellow
And very shortly after, i ll list as a soldier, and finds it s her true love all wasted and wan
The captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse, and finds it s her true love all wasted and wan, o then polly oliver
to nurse him she s gone
brightman sarah
So early next morning she softly arose, she cut her hair close Lipi, i ll list as a soldier
And dressed herself up in her dead brother s clothes, brightman sarah
brightman sarah
The trees they grow so high, a sudden strange fancy came into her head Dragojevic, and told the good doctor her hopes and her fears
And told the good doctor her hopes and her fears, the trees they grow so high, whe burst into tears
The first week the docter kept shaking his head, i ll list as a soldier Dragojevic, as sweet polly oliver lay musing in bed
And follow my love., and follow my love.
The first week the docter kept shaking his head, you have cherished him as if you were his wife
o then polly oliver
so early next morning she softly arose
to nurse him she s gone
i m ready, said polly
Whe burst into tears, young fellow
Can save him, he said, for better or for worse
The first week the docter kept shaking his head, for better or for worse, sweet polly oliver
and dressed herself up in her dead brother s clothes
