as we marched down to faneri-o
as we marched down to faneri-o
our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
come a runnin' down the stairs
come a runnin' down the stairs
come a runnin' down the stairs
combin' back your yellow hair
you're the prettiest little girl i've ever seen-o
in a carriage you will ride
in a carriage you will ride
in a carriage you will ride
with your true love by your side
as far as any maiden in the ar-e-o
what will your mother say
what will your mother say
what will your mother say
when she finds you've gone away
to places far and strange to faneri-o?
all your cities i will burn
destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o
destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o
