Thomas Hardy - The Sergeant's Song lyrics

When Lawyers strive to heal a breach, And Parsons practise what they preach; Then Little Boney he'll pounce down, And march his men on London town!   Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lorum,   Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lay! When Justices hold equal scales, And Rogues are only found in jails; Then Little Boney he'll pounce down, And march his men on London town!   Rollicum-rorum, &c. When Rich Men find their wealth a curse, And fill therewith the Poor Man's purse; Then Little Boney he'll pounce down, And march his men on London town!   Rollicum-rorum, &c. When Husbands with their Wives agree, And Maids won't wed from modesty; Then Little Boney he'll pounce down, And march his men on London town!   Rollicum-rorum, tol-tol-lorum,   Rollicum-rorum, tol-lol-lay!
