We hated the soldiers, their army took our town, I was sixteen
The foreign occupier grinned as he loosened my nightgown
May mornings are so bright
But comes the dark May night
The captain shouts "you're all dismissed"
Then boys with mischief in their eyes
Will find the girls who fraternise
How could I hate him when we kissed?
The foreign occupation brought sorrows, and then a cook
By day I would despise him, but when night fell I loved the liberties that he took
May mornings are so bright
But comes the dark May night
The captain shouts "boys, hit the hay"
But one with something on his mind
Knows just the kind of girl to find
We fraternised until the day
My oppressor and my lover for me were one and the same
Everyone said "her love's just convenient", what we agreed on was my shame
A cloud that hid the sun
Announced my joy was done
And you have your fun, but troops move on
You wait all night, where can he be?
Your lover and your enemy
His army's marching and he's gone
His army's marching and he's gone
