I. TO BE SUNG TO THE TUNE OF HIGH GERMANY

By Edward Shanks

No more the English girls may go

To follow with the drum

But still they flock together

To see the soldiers come;

For horse and foot are marching by

And the bold artillery:

They're going to the cruel wars

In Low Germany.

They're marching down by lane and town

And they are hot and dry

But as they marched together

I heard the soldiers cry:

“O all of us, both horse and foot

And the proud artillery,

We're going to the merry wars

In Low Germany.”
