The Spanish Cavalier
A Spanish cavalier stood in his retreat And on his guitar played a tune, dear;
The music so sweet they'd oft times
The blessing of my country and you dear.
Chorus:
Say, darling, say, whenl'm far away Sometimes you may think of me dear,
Bright sunny days will soon fade away,
Remember what I say, and be true, dear.
I'm off to the war, to the war I
To fight for my country and you dear;
But if I should fall in vain, I would
The blessing of my country and you, dear.
Chorus:
When the war is o'er to you I'd return,
Back to my country and you, dear,
But If I be slain, you may seek me in vain Upon the battle-field you will find me.
Chorus:
