  • Some talk of Alexander,
    And some of Hercules
    Of Hector and Lysander,
    And such great names as these
    But of all the world’s great heroes
    There’s none that can compare
    With a tow, row row row , row row row
    To the British Grenadiers
    
    None of these ancient heroes
    Ne’er saw a cannon ball
    Nor knew the force of powder
    To slay their foes withal
    But our brave boys do know it
    And banish all their fears
    Sing tow, row row row , row row row
    For the British Grenadiers
    When e’er we are commanded
    To storm the palisades
    Our leaders march with fuses,
    And we with hand grenades;
    We throw them from the glacis
    About the enemies’ ears
    Sing tow, row row row , row row row
    For the British Grenadiers
    
    And when the siege is over
    We to the town repair
    The townsmen cry ‘Hurrah, boys
    Here comes a Grenadier’
    Here come the Grenadiers, my boys
    Who know no doubts or fears
    Sing tow, row row row , row row row
    For the British Grenadiers
    
    So let us fill a bumper
    And drink a health to those
    Who carry caps and pouches
    And wear the louped clouthes
    May they and their commanders
    Live happy all their years
    Sing tow, row row row , row row row
    For the British Grenadiers
