Stand round, my brave boys! with heart and with voice,
And all in full chorus agree;
We'll fight for our king, and as loyally sing,
And let the world know we'll be free.
CHORUS
The rebels shall fly, as with shouts we draw nigh,
And Echo shall victory ring;
Then safe from alarms, we'll rest on our arms,
And chorus it, Long live the King!
Then commerce once more shall bring wealth to our shore,
And plenty and peace bless the isle;
The peasant shall quaff off his bowl with a laugh,
And reap the sweet fruits of his toil.
CHORUS
The rebels, &c.
Kind love shall repay the fatigues of the day,
And melt us to softer alarms;
Coy Phillis shall burn at her soldier's return,
And bless the brave youth in her arms.
CHORUS
The rebels shall fly, as with shouts we draw nigh,
And Echo shall victory ring;
Then safe from alarms, we'll rest on our arms,
And chorus it, Long live the King!
And all in full chorus agree;
We'll fight for our king, and as loyally sing,
And let the world know we'll be free.
