lyrics

IRONSIDES

Through hail and stone we are marching off to war
No need to fret boys we've seen it all before
Wet to the bone but there's fighting to be done
Soon Charlie's army's off and on the run

We stand, we stand, brothers to a man
Flying the flag of freedom
Heads held high, old Ironsides
We stand, we stand as one

See Royal Horses gallop on attack
Knocked to the ground and stranded on their backs
Feeling the barb of the pikeman's deadly sting
Run now to Charlie, the traitor that is king

The Cause, the Cause, the Good Old Cause
Marching on to freedom
You and I, Old Ironsides
We stand, we stand as one

Soon comes a time when the fighting will be done
Soon back to family, daughters, wives and sons
Leaving the blood of the battlefield behind
Back to our England, green and free and kind

The War, the War, the cold hard War
Fighting on for freedom
England's pride, Old Ironsides
We stand, we stand as one
