  1. On a fair summer's morning both gallant and gay.
    Twenty four ladies walked out the other day.
    A band of soldiers there chanced to pass by.
    And this little drummer on one cast an eye.
    He went to the Colonel and these words he did say.
    Twenty-four ladies walked out the other day.
    One of them wounded my heart very sore.
    And if she denies me I'm fairly done o'er.
    Will you go to that lady and tell her your mind.
