Lyrics

作词 : Hallett
Two recruiting sergeants came to the
CLB,for the sons of the merchants, to join the
Blue Puttees
So all the hands enlisted, five hundred young men
Enlist you
Newfoundlanders and come follow me
They crossed the broad
Atlantic in the brave
Florizel,And on the sands of
Suvla, they entered into hell
And on those bloody beaches, the first of them fell[Chorus]
So it's over the mountains, and over the sea
Come brave
Newfoundlanders and join the
Blue Puttees
You'll fight in
Flanders, and at
GalipoliEnlist you
Newfoundlanders and come follow me
Then the call came from
London, for the last
July drive
To the trenches with the regiment, prepare yourselves to die
The roll call next morning, just a handful survived.
Enlist you
Newfoundlanders and come follow me[Chorus]
The stone men on
Water Street still cry for the day
When the pride of the city went marching away
A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the
King sayEnlist you
Newfoundlanders and come follow me[Chorus x3]
