And most the battalion was killed or 'ad fell,

While the fiends in the street, like devils a stoking,

Were firing this 'ell 'ole with bullet and shell.

'Twas 'ere that me Sandy broke out thru a window,

Disguised as a Rajah, with turban and sword;

And so, quite unnoticed (they thought him a Indoo!)

'E soon joined the ranks of the mutinous 'orde.

And then 'e 'arrangued 'em ('e knew all their jargon!)

And urged 'em to scatter and uphold the law;

But 'ere 'e was thru 'e was sick of 'is bargain
