great big sea - recruiting sergeant lyrics
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 ye newfoundlanders and come follow me
they crossed the broad atlantic in the brave florizel,
and on the sands of suvla, they entered into h-ll
and on those bl–dy beaches, the first of them fell…
enlist ye newfoundlanders and come follow me
chorus:
so it’s over the mountains, and over the sea
come brave newfoundlanders and join the blue puttees
you’ll fight the hun in flanders, and at galipoli
enlist ye newfoundlanders and come follow me
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 ye 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 say
enlist ye newfoundlanders and come follow me
chorus (x2)
enlist ye newfoundlanders and come follow me
