We mounted our horses and rode through the town,
We hid us in holes, and our guns we laid down;
Now see the Newcastle folks drive away fears,
And now see the brav’ry of their Volunteers.
God save our noble king, and long may he reign,
And send him brave soldiers, his rights to maintain;
But do not deceive them, keep them on your shore,
That they may defend you ’till time is no more.
Farewell to all camps, and farewell to all towns,
We go off all footmen, no more like dragoons;
