We Be Soldiers Three
Deuteromelia (1609)
1. We be soldiers three,
Pardona moy je vous an pree
Lately come forth of the low country,
With never a penny of money.
2. Here good fellow I drink to thee,
Pardona moy je vous an pree,
To all good fellows wherever they be,
With never a penny of money.
3. He that will not pledge me thus,
Pardona moy je vous an pree,
Pays for the shoot whatever it is,
With never a penny of money.
4. Charge it againe boy, charge it againe,
Pardona moy je vous an pree,
As long as there is any incke in thy pen,
With never a penny of money.
