[Verse 1]
When I was young and foolish
I joined to be a soldier
They marched me up and down the town
With a gun upon me shoulder
I fought in bloody battlefield
Where manys-a-life was squandered
I didn't like the job at all
So I took me hitch and wandered
[Chorus]
To hell with all your orders!
I want no rules or borders!
I'll spend me time a-rambling 'round
Drinking pints of porter
[Verse 2]
By god, I had a wife one time
But we were badly mated
We argued this, we argued that
And now we're separated
And if by chance I pass her by
I'm always right and civil
"Good morning to ye, ma'am", says I
"To hell with you", she snivels
When I was young and foolish
I joined to be a soldier
They marched me up and down the town
With a gun upon me shoulder
I fought in bloody battlefield
Where manys-a-life was squandered
I didn't like the job at all
So I took me hitch and wandered
[Chorus]
To hell with all your orders!
I want no rules or borders!
I'll spend me time a-rambling 'round
Drinking pints of porter
[Verse 2]
By god, I had a wife one time
But we were badly mated
We argued this, we argued that
And now we're separated
And if by chance I pass her by
I'm always right and civil
"Good morning to ye, ma'am", says I
"To hell with you", she snivels
