| editor, The Child's Own Music Book — Soldier… (1918)
“ Soldier, soldier, will you marry me? etc. "Oh how can I marry such a pretty maid as thee, When I've got a good wife at home?" Two children are selected to play the parts. The little girl sings the first half of the verse and the little boy the second half. When he says he has no coat to put on, she borrows one from some other one of the children and so on for each verse. The last verse, which is sung by the soldier alone, always creates great merriment. ”
