Folk Song Arrangements, Vol. 6 "England" (Arr. for Voice and Theorbo by Matthew Wadsworth): No. 4, The Soldier and the Sailor

As the soldier and the sailor
Was a-walking one day
Said the soldier to the sailor
I've a mind for to pray
Pray on then, said the sailor
Pray on once again
And whatever you do pray for
I will answer Amen

Now the first thing I'll pray for
I'll pray for the Queen
That she have peace and plenty
All the days of her reign
And where she got one man
I wish she had ten
And never want for an Army
Said the sailor: Amen

Now the next thing I'll pray for
I'll pray for the Queen
That she have peace and plenty
All the days of her reign
And where she got one ship
I wish she had ten
And never want for a Navy
Said the sailor: Amen

Now the next thing I'll pray for
Is a pot of good beer
For good liquor were sent us
Our spirits to cheer
And where we got one pot
I wish we had ten
And never want for liquor
Said the sailor: Amen
