I am looking for the composer and title of this song I heard on a recording years ago. I believe the composer is from the U.K. but I'm not positive. Thanks for your help!

And to see how my true love comes smiling
And to see how my true love comes in
It would make any pauper feel happy
It would make every nightingale sing

Oh me love, he's a soldier for freedom
Oh me love, he's the one I adore,
As he stands there so tall and so handsome
And he says he'll be mine forever more

Then one day he arose and went from me
Saying wait for me darling I return
When the rest of the fighting is over
And the final victory is won

Oh the city's no place for a farmer
And the riots no place for a child
And the battle's no place for my true love
And black is no colour for a bride

And so on....
