The Warrior's Maid

An song written in folk style with a melody based on a pentatonic scale.

Words and Music by Geoff Walker.
 
 He was a wand'ring rover.
He was a soldier brave.
He woo'd a gentle maiden
And to her his love he gave

He was a wand'ring rover.
He was a soldier brave.
And to the wars he wander'd
And he came unto his grave

She was no more a maiden
For his bold son she bore
And he was like his father,
A sturdy warrior

She kiss'd and lov'd her baby,
For he was her only son.
But she swore that she would never,
ever Let him see a gun
