the bold fusilier - steve ragnall lyrics

oh, the g*y fusilier
came marching down through rochester
bound for the wars in the low country
and he sang as he marched
through the crowded streets of rochester
“who’ll be a soldier for marlborough & me?”

the king, he has ordered
fresh troops for the continent
strike a last blow at the enemy
and if you would be a soldier
all in a scarlet uniform
seek fresh employment with marlborough & me

who’ll be a soldier?
who’ll be a soldier?
who’ll be a soldier for marlborough & me?
and they sang as they marched
through the crowded streets of rochester
“who’ll be a soldier for marlborough & me?”
“well, not i!” said the miller
“nor i!” said the baker
most all the people
with them did agree
to be paid in the powder
and rattle of the cannonball
wages for soldiers for marlborough & me

“well, i!” said the young man
“i’ve long endured the parish queues,”
“no work or wages for the likes of me!”
“salvation and danger,”
“it will be my destiny”
“to seek fresh employment with marlborough & thee!”

who’ll be a soldier?
who’ll be a soldier?
who’ll be a soldier for marlborough & me?
and they sang as they marched
through the crowded streets of rochester
“who’ll be a soldier for marlborough & me?”
now, forty recruits
went marching down through rochester
bound for the wars in the low country
and they sang as they march
through the crowded streets of rochester
“who’ll be a soldier for marlborough & me?”

who’ll be a soldier?
who’ll be a soldier?
who’ll be a soldier for marlborough & me?
and they sang as they march
through the crowded streets of rochester
“who’ll be a soldier for marlborough & me?”
