Lyrics
Chorus
When he was three years old he wanted a pistol
Like a soldier man
At the age of twenty he went to the war
And fought as a soldier only can
When the war was over he came home again
And married a girl named Ann
Now he stays at home and fights with his wife
There’s a true born soldier man
