These are the words that several sources (including Dolph) give for a fine old march/dance tune that's traditionally played at West Point commencements. No one seems to have ever heard them sung; possibly because they don't seem to fit the tune particularly well. Included here a) as a curiosity, and b) 'cause it's a good tune. |
If I had a beau For a soldier who'd go Do you think I'd say no? No, no, not I! When his red coat I saw Not a tear would I draw But I'd give him eclat for his bravery. If an army of Amazons e'er came into play As a dashing white sergeant I'd march away. |
When my soldier is gone Do you think I'll take on, Or sit moping forlorn No, no, not I! His fame's my concern How my bosom would burn When I saw him return crown'd with victory! If an army of Amazons e'er came into play As a dashing white sergeant I'd march away. |
