Songs > Heiland Soldier
The first verse is the only one that differs chord-wise. All the other verses follow the pattern of the chorus. Dm C Way up among yon heiland hills Dm C Dm There lives a canny maiden Dm C And she's gone out on a fine summer's night Dm C Dm To watch all the soldiers paradin' Chorus: Dm C And they look so brave as they march away Dm C The drums they rattle and the pipes they play Dm C Which causes young Mary for to weep and to say Dm C Dm I will follow my heiland soldier But Mary dear, my wages are small And what if in battle I should fall I hae gang home to your heiland hall Think no more on a soldier laddy But I got twenty pounds all in the store And I got a herd 'bout ten times more And I'll give it all to the laddy I adore And I'll follow my heiland soldier First verse Chorus x 2
