damsel possessed of great beauty,
Stood at her own father's gate,
Gallant hussars were on duty,
To view them this maiden did wait;
Their horses were capering and prancing,
Accoutrements shone like a star,
As they stood near advancing,
Jane spied young gallant hussar.

Their pellisses hung on their shoulders,
Careless they seemed for to ride,
And warlike appeared these young soldiers,
Glittering swords by each side.
To the barracks next morning so early,
This damsel she went in her car,
Because she loved him so dearly-
Edward, the gallant Hussar.

It was there she conversed with her soldier,
These words she was heard for to say,
I have heard no one more bolder,
To follow my laddie away.
0 fie! said young Edward, be steady,
And think of the dangers of war,
When the [bad word] sounds I must be ready,
So wed not your gallant Hussar.

Said Edward, Your friends you must mind them,
Or else you’re forever undone,
They’ll leave you no portion behind them,
So pray do [bad word] shun.
She said, If you are [bad word] hearted,
I have gold of my uncle in store,
Now we will never be parted,
I will wed with my gallant Hussar.

As he gazed on her beautiful features,
The tears they did fall from each eye,
I will wed with this beautiful creature,
Forsake [bad word] wars, he did cry.
And now they’re united together,
Think of them when they’re afar,
God bless them now and for ever,
Young Jane and her gallant Hussar.
