The Soldier is a sweet folk-song arranged for one voice; however, it can be fun to create a scene with two characters as it is a conversation between a soldier and a girl who loves him. The accompaniment is clever and uses heroic, marching rhythms. It requires an acting-singer and allows for many cute moments and even props. "Soldier, soldier won't you marry me?" is the recurring phrase, and the answer is not what she expects.
