Duke Of Marlborough

You generals all and champions bold that takes delight in the field
That knock down palaces and castle walls and but straight to death must yield
I am an Englishman by birth, Lord Marlborough is my name
In Devonshire I drew my breath, that place of noted fame
I was beloved of all my men, kings and princes likewise
It’s many a town I often took I did the world surprise
King Charles the Second I did serve to face our foes in France
And at the battle of Ramilies I boldly did advance
The sun was down, the earth did shake, how loudly did I cry
«Fight on, my lads, for old England’s sake, we’ll conquer or we’ll die»
That very day my horse got shot, 'twas by a musket ball
And as I mounted up again, my aide-de-camp did fall
Now I on a bed of sickness lie, I am resigned to die
You generals all and champions bold stand true as well as I
Stand true my lads, and take no bribes, fight with courage bold
I led my men through smoke and fire and never was bribed by gold
I am an Englishman, Lord Marlborough is my name
We knocked down palaces and castle walls
I was beloved of all my men, kings and princes likewise
It’s many a town I often took I did the world surprise
Stand true my lads, and take no bribes, fight with courage bold
I led my men through smoke and fire and never was bribed by gold
You generals all and champions bold that takes delight in the field
That knock down palaces and castle walls and but now to death must yield
I am an Englishman by birth, Lord Marlborough is my name
In Devonshire I drew my breath, that place of noted fame
