Lyrics of following the drum - harlots by Qingzi(qing zi ge ci )

Adapted from Mingshu

Once I slept on a feather bed

with blankets woven warm

Now I'm glad to lay my head

On a cloak that's old and torn

So sing with me a merry catch

As summer days will come

My love, he is a soldier boy.

So I'm following the drum.

And a rattle and a scrat

And the beat of a marching song

lame and tired before my time

And still I follow him

Oh, I lame and tired

But still I smile

And so I follow him...
