Dashing White Sergeant 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. note: 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. RG
