[Verse 1]
[C]Burl [G]Ive[C]s - The Bold Soldier

[Verse 2]
Soldier, [G]oh [C]soldier,
A- coming from the plain
He courted a lady for [G]honor [C]and for fame
Her beauty [G]shone so bright[C]
That it never could be told
[C]She always [G]loved the [C]soldier
Because he was so bold.
Fa la la la, fa la la la

[Verse 3]
Fa la la la, fa la la la
[G]Sol[C]dier, oh soldier,
It's I would be your bride,
[C]But I fear of my father
[C]Some danger [G]might [C]betide.
Then he pulled out sword
[C]and[C] pistol
And hung them by his side
Swore he would be married,
No matter what betide.
[G]Fa la la la, fa la la la
Fa la la la, fa la la la

[Verse 4]
Then he took [C]her to the parson,
And, of course, home again
There they [G]met her [C]father
And seven armed men.
Let us fly, said the lady,
I fear [G]we [C]shall be slain
Take my hand, said the soldier,
[G]And never fear [C]again.
Fa la la la, fa la la la
Fa la la la, fa la la la
Then he pulled [G]out sword

[Verse 5]
and pistol,
And [C]caused them to rattle,
The lady held the horse
[G]While [C]the soldier
fought in battle.
[G]Hold your hand, said [C]the old man,
Do not be so bold.
You shall have my daughter
And a thousand pounds of gold.
Fa la la la, fa la la la
Fa [G]la la la, fa [C]la la la
Fight on! said the lady, [G]The

[Verse 6]
por[C]tion [G]is [C]too small!
Hold your hand, said the old man,
[G]And you shall have it [C]all.
Then he took them right straight home
And he called them [G]son [C]an [G]d d[C]ear
Not [G]because he [C]loved them,
But [C]only through fear.
Fa la la [G]la, fa la la la
Fa la la la, fa la la la
