[00:5.71]The smoke was slowly rising
[00:8.15]As the light began to fade
[00:10.9]There were fires on the skyline
[00:13.56]From some distant border raid
[00:16.25]I was riding out at seventeen
[00:19.56]To join my first brigade
[00:21.86]Many years ago
[00:27.31]And I chanced upon a farmhouse
[00:30.05]Where the woman took me in
[00:33.19]She gave me food and wine
[00:35.33]She gave me shelter from the wind
[00:38.21]She delayed me from my regiment
[00:41.34]And service of my king
[00:43.83]Many years ago
[00:49.19]She said soldier
[00:51.75]Before I lose you to the fight
[00:54.69]Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight
[01:00.05]She took me over in the fading fireglow
[01:09.33]On that wild and misty night she was my woman
[01:28.67]When I rose next morning
[01:32.25]I was gone before she stood
[01:37.83]Tore myself away from there
[01:42.03]And left without a word
[01:46.77]The sound of distant infantry
[01:50.97]Was the only thing I heard
[01:55.27]On that morning
[01:65.42]In that day I aged ten years
[01:69.6]And died a thousand deaths
[01:74.08]I learned the feel of frozen steel
[01:78.57]And fear within my breast
[01:83.17]But the lesson I'll remember
[01:87.2]Till they lay me to my rest
[01:91.55]Keeps returning
[02:00.97]She said soldier before I lose you to the fight
[02:09.98]Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight
[02:18.77]She took me over in the fading fireglow
[02:27.98]On that wild and misty night she was my woman
[02:79.13]And when the dice of war were thrown
[02:83.5]And victory was won
[02:88.15]My drunken young compatriots
[02:92.57]Went out to have their fun
[02:96.68]And there was no single house
[03:00.72]They didn't burn or overrun on that evening
[03:15.32]And I rode out to that place again
[03:20.15]As hard as I could ride
[03:24.4]But I found her by the cradle
[03:28.53]On that lonely mountainside
[03:33.43]In the hands of those brave friends of mine
[03:38.43]She suffered and she died
[03:42.43]Many years ago
[03:52.72]Soldier before I lose you to the fight
[03:60.47]She said soldier I'll make a man of you tonight
[03:69.62]She took me over in the fading fireglow
[03:78.98]On that wild and misty night she was my woman
