The Halliard - With Wellington We'll Go lyrics

It was on the eighteenth day of June Napoleon did advance The choicest troops that he could raise within the bounds of France Their glittering eagles shone around and proudly looked the pole Where the British lines they tore their wings on the plains of Waterloo With Wellington we'll go With Wellington we'll go For Wellington commanded us On the plains of Waterloo The number of the French that at Waterloo was slain Was near sixty thousand or laid upon the plains And forty thousand of them fell upon that fateful day Our Brave British heroes their prowess they didn't display With Wellington we'll go With Wellington we'll go For Wellington commanded us On the plains of Waterloo It's now the dreadful night comes on how dismal is the plain When Prussians and the English van are over ten thousand slain Pray Wellington and Blücher bold mostly nobly drove the fold And Buonaparte's Imperial crown was taken at Waterloo With Wellington we'll go With Wellington we'll go For Wellington commanded us On the plains of Waterloo Now peace be their those honored souls who fell that glorious day May the plough never raise their bones nor cut the sacred clay But let the place remain a waste and a terror to the foe And when trembling Frenchmen pa** that way they will think of Waterloo With Wellington we'll go With Wellington we'll go For Wellington commanded us On the plains of Waterloo On the plains of Waterloo
