Lyrics

0:05I courted a man from the Lancs fusiliers
0:10He gave me his heart and so I loved him dear
0:16For he took me a courting and he taught me to dance
0:21Then he marched with the infantry over to France
0:31He told me to wait he'd be back in a year
0:36Now seventeen months I have wished he were here
0:42And I'll wait no longer I'll take what I can
0:47So I'm learning to love with another young man
0:53Learning to love
0:55Learning to love
0:59Tired of the waiting
1:00I'm learning to love
1:07So I courted a man from the royal horse blues
1:13He soon had to leave and I said I'd be true
1:18Now he's gone for his duty not seven weeks yet
1:24So I've found a new young man to help me forget
1:30Learning to love
1:32Learning to love
1:35Tired of the waiting
1:37I'm learning to love
1:44I courted a man from the Kent volunteer
1:49Now he's gone a marching and I wish he were here
1:55What can I do while my love is away
2:00But court with a soldier from the royal Scots grey
2:06Learning to love
2:08Learning to love
2:12Tired of the waiting
2:13I'm learning to love
2:21One day they'll come back and then I'll be true
2:26For I've learnt how to love and I've learnt how to choose
2:32To every young woman who waits at the shore
2:37Love while you're waiting you'll learn so much more
2:43Learning to love
2:45Learning to love
2:49Tired of the waiting
2:50I'm learning to love
2:54Learning to love
2:56Learning to love
3:00Tired of the waiting
3:02I'm learning to love
I courted a man from the Lancs fusiliers
He gave me his heart and so I loved him dear
For he took me a courting and he taught me to dance
Then he marched with the infantry over to France
He told me to wait he'd be back in a year
Now seventeen months I have wished he were here
And I'll wait no longer I'll take what I can
So I'm learning to love with another young man
Learning to love
Learning to love
Tired of the waiting
I'm learning to love
So I courted a man from the royal horse blues
He soon had to leave and I said I'd be true
Now he's gone for his duty not seven weeks yet
So I've found a new young man to help me forget
Learning to love
Learning to love
Tired of the waiting
I'm learning to love
I courted a man from the Kent volunteer
Now he's gone a marching and I wish he were here
What can I do while my love is away
But court with a soldier from the royal Scots grey
Learning to love
Learning to love
Tired of the waiting
I'm learning to love
One day they'll come back and then I'll be true
For I've learnt how to love and I've learnt how to choose
To every young woman who waits at the shore
Love while you're waiting you'll learn so much more
Learning to love
Learning to love
Tired of the waiting
I'm learning to love
Learning to love
Learning to love
Tired of the waiting
I'm learning to love
