Oh tell the tale of the wicked soldier

Oh tell the tale of the wicked man

Oh tell the tale of the wicked soldier

Oh tell the tale of the wicked man

They say they heard him cry the fool's prayer

They say they heard him cry the fool

They say they heard him cry the fool's prayer

They say that - they just say that



For oh my love's by the old tin wall

She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me

My love's by the old tin wall

She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me



Some say the rope, she is hanging

Some say the rope, she is free

Some say the rope, she is hanging

So say the rope to hang upon me

So say the wise, she can't hear you

So say the wise, she can't hear

So say the wise, she can't hear you

Some say that - they just say that



For oh, my love's by the old tin wall

She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me

All others will compare to her

She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me



Oh my love I've waited here for you

All this time

Oh my love I've waited here for you

All this time



My love's by the old tin wall

She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me

My love's by the old tin wall

She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me

All others will compare

She'll never know

She'll never know

She'll never know
