Oh tell the tale of the wicked soldier  Oh tell the tale of the wicked man  Oh tell the tale of the wicked soldier  Oh tell the tale of the wicked man  They say they heard him cry the fool's prayer  They say they heard him cry the fool  They say they heard him cry the fool's prayer  They say that - they just say that  For oh my love's by the old tin wall  She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me  My love's by the old tin wall  She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me  Some say the rope, she is hanging  Some say the rope, she is free  Some say the rope, she is hanging  So say the rope to hang upon me  So say the wise, she can't hear you  So say the wise, she can't hear  So say the wise, she can't hear you  Some say that - they just say that  For oh, my love's by the old tin wall   She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me  All others will compare to her  She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me  Oh my love I've waited here for you  All this time  Oh my love I've waited here for you  All this time  My love's by the old tin wall  She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me  My love's by the old tin wall  She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me  All others will compare  She'll never know  She'll never know  She'll never know
