Song Info

Title:

What Would You Do (If You Married A Soldier)? (Traditional (arr. by Beatnik Turtle Music/Roper/Owens))

RPM Challenge Songs, Irish Songs

Lyrics:

Ah what would you do if you married a soldier?
What would I do but to follow the gun
And what would you do if he died in the ocean?
What would I do but to marry again

And what would you do if the kettle boiled over?
What would I do but to fill it again
And what would you do if the cows ate the clover?
What would I do but to set it again

The plants are all dug and the frost is all over
Kitty lie over next to the wall
The summer is come and we're all in the clover
Kitty lie over next to the wall

What would you do if you married a soldier?
What would I do but to follow the gun
And what would you do if he died in the ocean?
What would I do but to marry again

Come Hang Out With The Band (And See Some Great Live Music)

On Sunday, April 20th, Beatnik Turtle was supposed to play at the Abbey Pub for our fourth appearance at the International Pop Overthrow. We were excited, it’s a great spring show for us, and we were gearing up to play lots of new songs from Song of the Day as well as perhaps a live version of Pizza: The Rock Opera.

Alas, the IPO this year is not to be for us. One of our band members had an emergency, and can’t make it. Instead, the band Cyclesomething will be taking our place.

And we’re going to be there.

Come on out, see some great IPO music on a Sunday afternoon, and hang out with the band in a way that you never get to when we play. Hope you can make it! We certainly will.

The abandoned notepad still lies unclaimed, now partially buried under today’s Chicago Tribune. Whose scribbles are these?
