Lyrics
The princess, all excited, says, "Could
We really go to visit with your mother?
Could we, do you suppose?" Resolute, the soldier
Stiffening his resolve, squares his shoulders and
Replies, "Absolutely no." "Just a little visit
We'd be back before we're missed
I can see you really want to
I can see it in your eyes
And think of your dear mother
Think of her surprise
It isn't much to ask you
Say yes
Say yes
Please do." "No
Now then, come over here," he says
"Come here to me." "Not until you say we'll go
Say yes
Do say yes, please." Oh dear
The soldier weakens
He thinks, and sadly, thinking has never
Been his strongest suit, "Well, maybe
All right
Why not?
All right
You win
All right, my love
We'll go
Me mam, me roots, the fires of home
I cannot resist that call
Maybe me mam'll come and live with us
And then, well then, by gum, I'll really have it all."
