lirik lagu steeleye span - female drummer
i was brought up in yorkshire and when i was sixteen
oh i ran away to london and a soldier i became
chorus
with me fine cap and feather, likewise me rattling drum
they learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dum
with me gentle waist so slender, me fingers long and small
and to play upon the rub-a-dub the best of them all
and so many were the pranks that i saw among the french
and so boldly did i fight me boys although i’m but a wench
and in b-ttoning up me trousers so often have i smiled
to think i lay with a thousand men and a maiden all the while
chorus
and they never found my secret out until this very hour
when they sent me off to london to keep sentry o’er the tower
when a young girl fell in love with me and she found that i was a maid
she went up to me officer me secret she betrayed
chorus
he unb-ttoned then my red tunic and he found that it was true
‘it’s a shame[, he says, ‘to lose a pretty drummer boy like you]
so now i must return to me mum and dad at home
and along with me bold comrades it’s no longer can i roam
chorus
