1. My sweetheart is a soldier As handsome as can be But suddenly they sent him Away across the sea So patiently I waited Until his leave was due Then wrote and said "My darling, I'll tell you what to do" CHORUS: Come to the station Jump from the train March at the double Down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses en-twine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine 2. A soldier is a soldier And when he's on parade An order is an order And has to be obeyed
