Mama told Mary not to go downtown
Too many lovely boys hanging around
Mary didn't listen, she went anyway
There she met a boy who took her away

Soldier soldier don't look down
I'm here for you in every town

Soldier soldier don't look down
There's no sixpack on the ground
Soldier soldier don't look up
There's no whore gone to pick you up

Mama is worried and she gets real loud
Cause soldiers are a dirty crowd
Don't be mad I love him so
It's my life and I have to go

3 months later all was well
In my dreams I hear the wedding bells
6 months later all was done
We had a little son, we're having fun
Mama don't look twice, soldiers can be nice
