	The Trooper and the Maid 2   He pulled off his shoe-boot clothes As he rose from the table, He pulled off his shoe-boot clothes And into the arms of the lady. Yes, the lady, the lady, He pulled off his shoe-boot clothes And into the arms of the lady. 3   The trumpet now is sounding, And I must go and leave you. O soldier, my dear, don't you leave me here, For if you do I'm ruined for ever. Yes, for ever, for ever, O soldier, my dear, don't you leave me here, For if you do I'm ruined for ever. 4  O when will you come back, my love, Or when will we get married ? When conk-shells turn to silver bells, O then, my love, we'll marry. Yes, we'll marry, we'll marry, When conk-shells turn to silver bells, O then, my love, we'll marry.
