And up in the Pyrennees;
Before Dunkirk, on Landen’s plain,
Cremona, Lille and Ghent:
We’re all over Austria, France, and Spain,
Wherever they pitched a tent.
We’ve died for England, from Waterloo
To Egypt and Dargai;
And still there’s enough for a corps or a crew—
Kelly and Burke and Shea.”
“Well, here’s to good, honest fighting blood!”
