| So back you have come from the town Nan dear | B |

| That soldier of mine | C |
| Who long since promised to meet me here | D |

| O yes Nell from the town I come | E |
| And have seen your lover on sick leave home | F |
| That soldier of yours | G |
| Who swore to meet you or Strike him dumb | E |

| But has kept himself of late away | H |
| Yet in short he's coming I heard him say | H |
| That lover of yours | G |
| To this very spot on this very day | H |

| Then I'll wait I'll wait through wet or dry | I |
| I'll give him a goblet brimming high | I |
| This lover of mine | C |
| And not of complaint one word or sigh | I |
| - | |
| Nell him I have chanced so much to see | J |
| That he has grown the lover of me | J |
| That lover of yours | G |
| And it's here our meeting is planned to be | J |
