Pretty Young Soldier - Sting
Written by：Sting/Dominic Miller/Lyle Workman/Josh Freese

There are two young lovers they're pledged to each other's hands
They meet by the river to talk of their marriage plans
I'm confessing he said I've signed for a soldier
And I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land

She watches the pretty young soldiers

As they march themselves off to the war

She wonders if she'll ever see him again

Somehow she doubts it but she has to be sure

So she rode into town on the very next day

And dressed herself up all in man's array

With a sword and a musket she took the king's shilling
And to fight in some foreign war
She said yes she'd be willing

All you pretty young soldiers

In those uniforms that you've never worn

The captain will come to inspect you all now

Let me down and you'll all wish you'd never been born

The captain astride of his horse's grey flanks
Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks
His gaze it is fixed and she's starting to shake
He said follow me soldier and listen to the offer that I'm willing to make

Come you pretty young soldier

Come and be my right hand

You're having this strange effect on my soul

That I don't quite understand

Captain oh captain I've a confession to make

I love someone else and my heart it will break

And as she released her brown hair from a band

It tumbled all down her shoulders and into his hands

Oh you pretty young soldier

Come and take my right hand

You're having this strange effect on my soul

And now I think I understand
