Verse 1
My father was twice married, and a wife he left at home
And to me she proved cruel, and she did me disown.
But if my father had been a honest man, and learned me some trade,
I never should have listed, nor worn the cockade:
But 'tis after I was listed, and that bargain was made,
The ribbons they were brought and pinned to my cockade.
