Lyrics: Oh Polly Oh Polly its for your sake alone, I've left my old Father, my Country, my home I've left my old Mother to weep and to mourn I am a rebel soldier, and far from my home The grape shot and musket and the cannons lumber loud Its many a mangled body the blanket for the shroud Its many a mangled body left on the fields alone I am a rebel soldier and far from my home Here is a good old cup of brandy and a glass of wine You can drink to your true love and I will drink to mine You can drink to your true love and I will lament and mourn I am a rebel soldier and far from my home I'll build me a castle on some green mountain high Where I can see Polly when she is passing by Where I can see Polly and help her to mourn I am a rebel soldier and far from my home I am a rebel soldier and far from my home
