British Grenadiers Songtext
von US Army Strings

Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these
But of all the world′s brave heroes, there's none that can compare
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers


Whene′re we are commanded to storm the Palisades
Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades
We throw them from the glacis, about the enemy's ears
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers

Then let us fill a bumper, and drink a health of those
Who carry caps and puches, and wear the loupèd clothes
May they and their commanders live happy all their years
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers
