SONG: Soldier Will You Marry Me
ARTIST: Jimmie Rodgers

No, not Jimmie Rodgers as in the country musician who did Train Whistle Blows and so
forth. I'm referring to a pop musician from the 50s, who happens to share the same name and
who gave us this hilarious song, about a soldier who receives a marriage proposal from a 
woman, but refuses due to lack of clothes and in the end is forced to confess that he's
already married and has recently started a family.

Soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I've got no shoes to put on, put on?
Got no shoes to put on?

So off to the cobbler she did go
As fast as she could run
And she brought him a pair of the finest there
And the soldier put them on, them on
The soldier put them on

Now, soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I've got no socks to put on, put on?
Got no socks to put on?

So off to the haberdasher she did go
As fast as she could run
And she brought him a pair of the finest there
And the soldier put them on, them on
The soldier put them on

(key change: )

Now, soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh how can I marry such a pretty girl as you
When I've got no pants to put on, put on?
Got no pants to put on?

So off to the tailor she did go
As fast as she could run
And she brought him a pair of the finest there
And the soldier put them on, them on
The soldier put them on

(key change: )

Now, soldier, soldier, will you marry me
With your musket, fife and drum?
How can I marry such a pretty girl as you
With a wife and a baby at home?
