But fight for love and whiskey!
(Two verses omitted.)
THE BRITISH GRENADIERS.
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, row, to the British grenadier.
Those heroes of antiquity ne’er saw a cannon-ball,
Or knew the force of powder to slay their foes withal;
