Lyrics : Bang Upon The Big Drum
When first I went to soldier with, rifle on my shoulder
There wasn't no one bolder in the corps, boys, oh
And when I walked abroad, all the pretty girls, they'd wink at me
The ladies can't resist a jolly soldier
Bang upon the big drum, crash upon the cymbals
We'll sing as we go marching along boys, along
And although on this campaign
There's no Whiskey or Champagne
Still, we'll keep our spirits going with a song, boys
Now, when we got the route, and for India, we set out
The girls were crying round us to the docks, boys, oh
So we gave three hearty cheers, for the pretty little dears
In the hopes that each one got another soldier
Bang upon the big drum, crash upon the cymbals
We'll sing as we go marching along boys, along
And although on this campaign
There's no Whiskey or Champagne
Still, we'll keep our spirits going with a song, boys
There wasn't no one bolder in the corps, boys, oh
And when I walked abroad, all the pretty girls, they'd wink at me
The ladies can't resist a jolly soldier
Bang upon the big drum, crash upon the cymbals
We'll sing as we go marching along boys, along
And although on this campaign
There's no Whiskey or Champagne
Still, we'll keep our spirits going with a song, boys
Now, when we got the route, and for India, we set out
The girls were crying round us to the docks, boys, oh
So we gave three hearty cheers, for the pretty little dears
In the hopes that each one got another soldier
Bang upon the big drum, crash upon the cymbals
We'll sing as we go marching along boys, along
And although on this campaign
There's no Whiskey or Champagne
Still, we'll keep our spirits going with a song, boys
