| | | Artist: | Unknown |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Kings Shilling | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 189 | | | | Lyrics: | THE KING'S SHILLING
Oh my love has left me wi' bairnies twa
And that's the last o'
him I ever saw
He's joined the army and he marched awa'
He took the shillin'
He took
the shillin' and he marched awa'
Come laddies come, hear the cannons roar
Tak'
the King's shilling an' we're off tae war
Oh he looked sae prood and sae gallant
then
Wi' his kilt and sporran an' his musket gun
And the ladies kissed them as they
marched awa'
And they sailed awa' boys
They sailed awa', boys, by the
Broomielaw
The pipes they played as they marched along
And the men they sang oot a
battle song
"March on, march on," cried our Captain gay
And for King and country
For
King and country we will fight this day
The battle echoed tae the sound o' guns
And
bayonets flashed in the morning sun
The drums did beat and the cannons roared
And the
shillin' didn't seem
The shillin' didn't seem much worth no more
Some lost the
battle their bodies fell
Cut doon by bayonets and musket ball
And many o' these brave
young men
Would never fight for
Would never fight for their King again
Oh my
love has left me wi' bairnies twa
And that's the last o' him I ever saw
He's joined the
army and he marched awa'
He took the shillin'
He took the shillin' and he marched
awa'
