lirik lagu geoff berner – traitor bride
an occupied town
is like a prisoner
who is bound to fight and curse
against the shackles that bind
you are not supposed to pour
a cup of tea for a poor
cold homesick soldier
from the wrong side
she said “can’t you see?
his eyes are steady
and his face is kind
he was pressed into service
against his will
i don’t care what they say
i will go to him still
the soldier from the wrong side.”
what do you think was said
when she screamed and she plead
after her mother
found the drawer with the letters inside
“oh, you foolish little girl
nothing good can befall love
with a soldier from the wrong side.”
she tried to run and warn him
but her brothers barred the door
and out into the darkness
they did ride
she was too late
too late to save him
lying face up in the rain
the soldier from the wrong side
she said “can’t you see?
his eyes are steady
and his face is kind
he was pressed into service
against his will
i don’t care what they say
i will go to him still
the soldier from the wrong side.”
and when they’d shaved her head
dressed her in mocking white
and dragged her through the streets
as a traitor bride
it was plain for all to see
she’d long since joined the company
of the soldier from the wrong side
