When the Rooskies at Alma were forced to run,
It was Froggy, of course took the one captured gun,
With his swingeing St. Arnaud, Bosquet, and Canrobert,
Heigh ho, so easy!
When the beaten Rooskies we failed to pursue—
Heigh ho, so foully!
When the beaten Rooskies we failed to pursue,
To John Bull, of course, the delay was due,
With his easy Lord Raglan, Lucan and Cardigan,
Heigh ho, so growlly!
