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] |
