IT was a brave Souldier that long livd in warres, He would into England, to try his affaires, A brave gallant Creature, enchanted his eye: It is for thy love Peggy, I dye, I dye. She had a good Husband that loved Her well, For Gold and for money, none did her excell. Yet Peggy would listen to the Souldiers cry, It is for thy love Peggy, I dye, I dye. O pretty Peggy, let sorrowes remove, And grant me a kisse in token of love:O take thee a thousand, ons but a few, Ile leave my owne husband, to travel with you. O pretty Peggy, if thou wilt be mine, All the gold that I get, it shall be thine:Father and Mother, thouse never so mere, If thou wilt goe over Sea with a Souldier.
She tooke the keyes from her side, to her chest shes gone, All the gold that she hath, with her she ath tane:She left the Babe Motherlesse, and the bed bare, And she is gone over sea with a Souldier. As Peggy and the Souldier, went over a plaine, He twinked at her, she smiled againe:He courted her bravely, as Youngmen should doe, And ever said Peggy, I love none but you. As Peggy went up the street, so did she downe, All that did meet her askt whither she was bound:She answered them quickly, she could not tell where, For she must goe over sea with a souldier. Her Husband came home so late in the night, He asked for Peggy his joy and delight,They answer him quickly, they could not tell where, For she was gone over sea with a Souldier.

HE sadled his horse and rode to the shoare, Thinking to take Peggy, before she got ore:He asked for Peggy, but she was not there, For she was gone over sea, with a Souldier. I pray thee good nurse be good to my child, And thouse have thy wages; at every months end: Thouse nether want money, wine nor good cheare, Though Peggy be over sea, with a Souldier. He cursed the Carpenter that made the ship, And eke the Plummer, for plumming so deepe:He banned the wind and the water so cleere, That carried her over sea with a souldier She had not beene over sea, passing months three, Ere she would come home againe, if it might be. To speake with her husband, this matter to cleere, Because she had bin over sea with a souldier. This wanton lewd woman, is come home againe, When all her pleasure, and coine it was spent:
She could no longer, in Ireland stay, For she had no gold nor money to pay. I pray you sweet husband, will you forgive me, And all thats amisse, amended shall be:Ile live with my husband, and Babie so deare, And Ile never goe againe; with a souldier. Come hither sweet Peggy, thou art welcome to me, So all thats amisse amended may be. I pray God forgive my sinnes, and Ile forgive thee, If thoul live at home, with thy Babie and me. All you good wives, that heare this my song, Live at home with your husbands and doe them no wrong:For youth it is wanton, and will have a fling, And Peggy is at home with her husband againe. And thus of my song, I will make an end, Praying for Gods favour, for women and men, Desiring them all in their Countrey to stay, And never to wander so vainely away.
